This Black Thunder is the meteorological by-product of no apocalyptic horsemen; rather, it’s the new album from Boston-based supergroup of sorts, Doomriders. Taking their metallic cues from every classic rocker in the book and amplifying them the fuck up, Black Thunder is the record those moved to devil-horn high-fives by recent Relapse releases – Mastodon, High On Fire – will throw on while chugging back chilled beers and rocking the fuck out for no reason other than that they can. It’s raw, rampant, and thoroughly fun. Kurt Ballou (Converge) captured it, and the transfer from live room to CD doesn’t lessen the quartet’s impact one iota. This is brilliant bombast, from thunderous opening title track to cataclysmic finish, ‘Sirens’.
