Review by RyanDrever

A rare gift for lovers of all things doom that want more balls, less formula.»

close'sowberry hagan' was recorded in just four days in a farm near liege. their 3rd album, 'sowberry hagan' combines their well-honed sound of cacophonous guitar riffs juxtaposed with hypnotic, ambient doom whilst also experimenting with new sounds. by introducing new instruments to the fold including banjo, alto and soprano saxophones, and other instrumental samples, ultraphallus have reinvented themselves and are crafting their very own new definition of doom. they have certainly pulled out all the stops for sowberry hagan as they have also recruited the help of special guest eugene robinson (oxbow) who carries his trademark voice for an epic eight minute ambient-rock track. the result is an album more dark and more encompassing as ever before. if you have yet to be consumed by ultraphallus' atmospheric sounds then this is a good place to start. mastered by james plotkin (khanate / phantomsmasher etc).
