REVIEW: FUZZING NATION - Into the Desert (EP 2024)

 


FUZZING NATION - Into the Desert (EP 2024)


Independent


Before presenting the band’s new EP, let me give you a brief introduction to FUZZING NATION. The band was formed in December 2022 by Stavros Giannakos (bass), Terry Moros (drums), and Aggelos Ioannidis (guitar/vocals). These musicians bring with them a wealth of experience and a notable presence in the Greek metal scene. For instance, Aggelos and Stavros are also members of the well-known Greek doom metal band SORROWS PATH, while Terry was previously the drummer for bands like CRYSTAL CLEAR and INNERWISH. 


With their new and second EP, "Into The Desert", FUZZING NATION have put their collective experience to excellent use. Combining seasoned craftsmanship with raw enthusiasm has always been a winning formula, and it’s evident here as well.

 


This EP is a love letter to BLACK SABBATH, the band that laid the foundation for heavy metal and stoner rock. Every note exudes FUZZING NATION's deep admiration for their iconic sound. So, what can you expect? Stoner rock—or heavy rock, if you prefer—infused with early doom metal elements. The band expertly crafts groovy riffs, blending them with melody to deliver a gritty, heavy rock record brimming with badass rock 'n' roll energy. 


I’ll admit, this isn’t my go-to genre. But these guys have managed to create four tracks that I genuinely enjoyed. This is the kind of music that’s best experienced loud, surrounded by friends, and with a beer in hand. 


No need to say it, but I will anyway: you should definitely check them out!
