Weedian Polish five-piece Belzebong (also stylized with a capital ‘G’ at the end) began their association with Michigan imprint Emetic Records in 2013 with the release of a second pressing of their 2013 one-sided 12″, Dungeon Vultures and a reissue of their 2011 full-length, Sonic Scapes and Weedy Groves. The forthcoming four-tracker Greenferno, which I’ve no doubt will serve as Belzebong‘s second long-player, will be the continuation of that alliance, the instrumental outfit proffering ultra-stoner riffs and thematics perhaps best summed up by the title of the first song to be revealed from the album: “Diabolical Dopenosis.” What’s to note from “Diabolical Dopenosis” that might tell us about the rest of Greenferno? Its resin-caked groove, for one. Beginning with its central nodding riff and a sample from the 1982 film Creepshow about people turning into weeds, it’s not long before Belzebong are dug into the progression that will carry them through the bulk of the track, full-toned riffage, ample bottom end and steady crash resulting in a for-the-converted roll that should meet with much approval as it opens Greenferno. I’ve yet to hear anything of the remaining three tracks on the album — “Inhale in Hell” (get it?), “Goat Smokin’ Blues” and “The Undertoker” — but something tells me it doesn’t get any less stoned from here.
