SERGEANT THUNDERHOOF – THE GHOST OF BADON HILL
Goodmorning Kiribati! Rise and shine. May your day be glorious and bountyful! And we of course wish this as well for all you lovely freaks out there that have embraced the Heavy Underground like the rest of us. To celebrate our beautiful family, we have a treat for you all. A Friday Freebie for one of the big albums of yesteryear. And with no less than 500 codes! It’s SERGEANT THUNDERHOOF and their THE GHOST OF BADON HILL album! Number 1 on the November 2024 Doom Charts and Number 2 on the Top 100 of 2024! We thank SERGEANT THUNDERHOOF and Pale Wizard Records for thinking of us and all of you… Dig in!
Scott Spiers (CleanAndSoberStoner, Monster Riff) said: “SERGEANT THUNDERHOOF just redefined whatever I thought was possible for a rock band to do in 2024. The Ghost of Badon Hill is everything great about the band, but with more focus, intensity, and restraint. It’s epic without being bloated and heavy without weighing itself down. There is simply no band in the Stoner/Doom/Heavy Underground doing it better than these guys.”
A.S. Van Dorston (Fast n Bulbous) wrote: “The most highly regarded band on the heavy psych/stoner/doom scene in recent years, Elder, has influenced a ton of bands. Some recognizably borrow from their sonic signature, but even more positively, others have taken the queue to push boundaries outside of the typical subgenre confines, such as King Buffalo, Vitskär Süden and SERGEANT THUNDERHOOF. The band has been around for a decade, releasing their first EP in 2014, but really made a move to stand out with This Sceptred Veil (2022). As they’ve expanded the scope of their sound palate, they’ve also grown more ambitious in songwriting and concepts, this time tackling The Battle of Badon, the accounts of the 5th century clash between Britons and Anglo-Saxons were hazy and fragmented with Arthurian legend mixed in. Prime material for a progressive psych metal album. While the band’s earlier work had been aligned with stoner doom, like Elder, Pallbearer and Anathema, they’ve evolved beyond those boundaries into an elegantly moody, melodic territory that could be comparable to bands outside of their genre confines, like Radiohead and Elbow.”
Joop Konraad (Stoner HiVe) said: “The Ghost Of Badon Hill is amazing once again. The less is more principle seems to work for the songs, turning the compositions into carriers of a longer arc, a story and a history. Dismissing the extra riffs, leaving off some of the fills, the extra lyrics and everything that wasn’t necessary to tell the tale. The result turns their progressive side into something highly engaging and compulsive, for once opening track Badon begins, you cannot help but listen to the entire legend once again. We’ve said it before, if you want to tell a story, it’s about setting the scene. And some bands are true masters in that respect. And with The Ghost Of Badon Hill, SERGEANT THUNDERHOOF has become one of them. As the wind gushes around you on that fateful hill, and the acoustic medieval-touched guitar is punctuated by a forlorn whistle, you will be swept up by the mist and carried away to another time and place. That song becomes so much more though, riddled with enchanting harmonies and powerful strides. Slowly building, with wistful vocals and a warrior’s drum march. And then that drum, like a subdued cannon blast echo from the past launching the composition forwards and into thundering metal, unhurried but so forceful. The guitars get to soar, to lift off, to fly. And so do the vocals. Which is possible due to the bass work and drums that accentuates every detailed rise minutely and in that fashion, lifts every tone to a higher plane of existence. No longer fleeting, the tones seem to linger and stay with you as the others wash over you, burying you, like the sands of time…”
Their own words: “Hailing from the historical and magical area of Somerset in England, Sergeant Thunderhoof have yet again delved deep in to local history, mythology and folklore to deliver their most focussed album to date. ‘The Ghost of Badon Hill’ is a true conceptual piece, set in the 4th Century AD and positively charged with raw emotion and Arthurian mysticism. Recorded in their home town of Bath (UK) by Josh Gallop (who is now an official member of the band) and mastered by Tony Reed (Mos Generator), this new LP sees the band exploring wider and more textured sonic landscapes.”
