“The Slick and the Dead” merges classic desert rock a la Kyuss with Deep Purple-style organ accents and melodic flourishes. The vocals are especially strong and charismatic, and when the dense distortion and fuzz come in, it feels like an earned descent into doom.

Guitarist-vocalist Sean Roa said of the album, “ Doomsayer originated in early 2026 out of many hours of jam sessions in our new studio space, playing around and seeing where it took us. We didn’t really have an end goal in mind of what we were going for. We were simply exploring ideas and seeing what ended up speaking to us the most. So much has happened, both as a band and in our personal lives since our last record, that ended up becoming the inspiration to many of the lyrics on Doomsayer . I think as a result, this is some of our most upfront, direct and riff-driven work to date. We are incredibly proud of it and can’t wait for it to get out into the world.”
