When looking back at bands such as Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, many wonder what happened to the days of heavy rock’n’roll. Saving this kind of music and bring it into today would be Vancouver Island’s Sludge/old school rock band, Mendozza. Their latest full length, Cabre Noche will remind listeners Black Sabbath and why they are considered the founders of metal. Cabre Noche takes listeners on a trip back to the 70’s where everyone was stoned, liked their music slow and evil and a band was considered a good band depending on how long they can drag a song out. Mendozza accomplishes all of these task with Cabre Noche with the shortest song (Witch Hunt) being three minutes long and longest (Injustice for All) playing up to seven minutes and 41 seconds long.
The CD gives a great name to the sludge genre and adds yet another band to add to my playlist of slower chilled out, yet heavy as all hell music. Cabre Noche will be for those who enjoy bands such as High on Fire, with a mixture of both The Melvins and Black Sabbath. With straight forward southern guitar riffs, crunching bass lines and hard hitting drums, Cabre Noche is a slow bulldozer, rolling over everything in its way and crunching forward one step at a time. Over all a great CD that should be in the collection of any sludge metal fan.
