Formed by Dozer guitarist Tommi Holappa, Greenleaf is among the best damn beer-drinking stoner rock youll ever hear out of Sweden. Yes, Sweden, land of death metal, ABBA, and rubbery fish candy. Youd just as easily peg the scruffy-looking foursome as Virginian, as on Agents Of Ahriman, they sound more Southern than the South themselves. Unfazed at the prospect of writing big, meaty riffs that bring to mind all kinds of 70s rock exuberance, Greenleaf embrace the this kind of super-catchy, unabashedly masculine songwriting (see Alishan Mountain). Theyre definitely treading on worn ground, or a well-paved road, as many of their songs seem to revolve around highways (Highway Officer, Black Tar, Ride Another Highway), but Agents sounds fresh and authentic. If anything, their approach, free of any tongue-in-cheek, self-conscious hipsterism, may be their greatest asset. That and supreme songwriting ability. Full length album from Greenleaf. Very good record. Enjoy! Stoned Meadow Of Doom. Greenleaf - Agents Of Ahriman 1. Highway Officer - 0:00 2. Treehorn - 4:11 3. Alishan Mountain - 9:01 4. Black Tar - 13:26 5. The Lake - 16:53 6.
