Solid review for Glow Gods HOUSE OF DISTRACTIONS from Terminal Boredom using some comparisons we hadnt heard before: Heavy duty rocking out of Oklahoma City with Denton expatriate Payton Green along for the ride (Wiccans, Wax Museums, Video, etc...), these guys slug and slam their way across all varieties of heaviness and metal stylings whilst keeping some punkitude as well. There are musical references to Kyuss (and first - and maybe second - LP era Queens of the Stone Age), Screaming Trees and the early Soundgarden SST days, definite Fu Mancu Action Is Go a coupla times, plenty of grunge (a bit of Tad, the aforementioned garden, some Nirvana and I swear a little bit of AIC for a moment or two), some Melvins sludgefesting and even a hardcore tune. They do some slow burn rockers as well, and the vocals often have that Josh Homme/QOTSA vibe to them. This LP will fulfill your USDA daily requirement for fuzz after the first couple of songs. No thrash/death or any really traditonal metal, but plenty of stoner, grunge and a little bit of doom. If this were about 15 years ago, Glow God would have been the heroes of the Mans Ruin roster.
