It’s been a brief 15 years since Swedish stoner rock OGs Dozer released their last album, Beyond Colossal, but judging from their latest single, “Dust for Blood,” the time hasn’t dulled the band’s spirits a bit. Taken from Dozer’s upcoming album, Drifting in the Endless Void, “Dust for Blood” is a charged-up, fuzzed-out banger propelled by huge hooks and a healthy dose of psychedelia.
Drifting in the Endless Void picks up in many ways where Dozer left off in 2008, working with higher tempos and a sound influenced by bands like Clutch, Queens of the Stone Age and even Mastodon, but it sounds modern and updated as well.
“’Dust for Blood’ follows the main theme for the whole record,” explains singer Fredrik Nordin. “Where we give this earth to the next generation, and it’s basically in ruins. Some care, some do not. Is it all an illusion? Or is it real? Is it all too much to grasp? Is all hope lost? No, it never is and never will be. Even if you’re in the deepest darkest hole, don’t give up because eventually things get brighter.”
Check out the new tune below. Drifting in the Endless Void is out on April 21 via Blues Funeral.
