THOUGHTS:

"Crumbling the Earth below comes the behemoth sounds of Phoenix Stoner/Doom band Goya. The band packs a ton of  righteous riffage into their latest self-titled demo. DIY production lends to the stripped down sound. The songs are for the most part slow, loud and heavy. Just the way I like it! The demo starts off with "God Lie", a furious blast of metal and settles nicely into a sweet doom groove. The timely usage of feedback on "Mourning Sun" sends chills through your spine , but the unnerving feeling ends once the first punishing riff rattles your skull. The riffs constantly wallow and bend into a devastating power chord as the drums keep the steady snail-paced rhythm on the 11-plus minute closer "Night Creeps". This is a thrilling demo from these desert doomsters in the vein of Electric Wizard and Sleep. Take a listen and then chuck a few bucks for the demo on Bandcamp".
