 SAHARA: III

Dirty, heavy, sleazy and totally catchy.

Sahara founder Martin Ludi, after parting ways with his original bass player and drummer, is joined by Gabriel and Ivan from Mephistofeles.  Even though Gabriel plays bass here, you can feel the Mephistofeles influence along with Martin Ludi's own take on the Argentinian grunge doom sound.

There is a lot to like here, but let's start at the beginning:

And the fast-moving "Altar of Sacrifice":

Apparently the band faced adversity throughout the making of this album, including drugs, covid lockdowns and the incarceration of their sound engineer.

Here they are in all their glory:

Martin Ludi : Guitar, Vocals
Gabriel Ravera : Bass, Vocals
Ivan Sacharczuk : Drums

As always, thanks for reading & listening
