Fusskalt – Faceless Man

 

 

Fusskalt – Faceless Man
Self-released – 2025 
Stoner Rock, Stoner Metal
Rated: 

Even though I’m generally more intrigued by bands who dare to think outside the box and explore the boundaries of the heavy underground with some kind of quirky conviction, I absolutely love me some straight up traditional stoner rock that harks back to the heydays of bands like Tummler, We, 7 Zuma 7, Red Giant and more modern equivalents like Sasquatch. Fusskalt from Denmark can be added to that list. They showed some promise from the get-go and have come to full fruition on their latest ep/album. It’s packed to the brim with catchy songs, a chugging rhythm section, great leads and tons of energy. Add to that the impressive and convincing vocals of new singer Niko and you’ve got every ingredient needed to separate a traditional stoner rock album from the pack and make it a great one. And that’s exactly what ‘Faceless Man‘ is: a great ep/album and by far Fusskalt ‘s best release to date.

Stoner HiVe's words on Fusskalt – Drive / Stand in Line

 

Fusskalt – Drive / Stand in Line

Fusskalt – Drive / Stand in Line

Self released – 2014

Rock, Metal, Stoner

Rated: ****

With an all mighty groove these five Danish freaks come out swinging! It is Fusskalt and with these two single tracks they pound you like a bearded dwarf wielding a Louisville slugger. Two single tracks called Drive and Stand In Line have you aching for more. And there is more ofcourse in the form of their two damn fine EP’s from 2012 and 2013. Which were more straightforward and speeding like a bullet train; missing some of that holy groove that is so prevalent on the two new tracks. Sure, you can already heat it being born on those stoner metal EP’s. But on Drive and Stand In Line it has matured to the massive beast that it is today. Indeed, Fusskalt has it all. Grimy, gritty riffs, pounding drums and a highly accomplished vocalist that has you grinning like a madman! So throw back a beer, light a smoke, speed up and head out towards that sunset horizon!
