Wickedly dense, Crust-ridden with hints of bad-trip psychedelia, Texas's long running Mala Suerte have unleashed their new platter of aural pillage called "The Shadow Tradition". Mala Suerte have taken the Sabbathian riff, added the rawness and intensity of Grief and the narcotic haze of Electric Wizard and come up with something uniquely distinct. This one will melt your brain till it sloshes between your earholes.

If you’re a fan of pummeling, crust-infested Doom Metal there are several reasons to dig The Shadow Tradition. Number one, it’ll liquefy your brain matter. This is a H-E-A-V-Y mofo, there are no ethereal moments to lighten the mood beside some reverb-drenched fuzz guitar on “The Monks of Medenham”. It’s hammer-to-anvil, stripped-down and nonstop – Chris Barnes, Hellride Music.com
