This is the final review of a recording from Alaska's solo project The Panther Caps which shows the music going for a psychedelic mixture of black, sludge, stoner, doom metal and hardcore and the album was released in 2025 by The Swamp Records and called 'Graven Images".
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording. Elements of sludge and doom metal are also added into the slower sections of the songs along with the vocals bringing in a mixture of clear stoner rock vocals and black metal screams.
A lot of the music also has roots in the 70's and 80's while also sounding very modern at the same time. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with the album also capturing the aggression of hardcore at times, all of the drum beats are also programmed as well as the whole album also sticking to a heavier direction and the closing track is also very long and epic in length.
On this recording The Panther Caps continues to expand on his psychedelic mixture of black, sludge, stoner, doom metal and hardcore. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover Satanism, Occultism, Horror and Humor themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from The Panther Caps and if you are a fan of psychedelic, black, sludge, stoner, doom metal and hardcore, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Feed The Black Masses" "Waste of Suffering" "Humans Have A Right To Hedonism" and "Graven Images". 8 out of 10.
