Cosmic Shakedown
Mammoth Sessions EP
From the Jack White-esque vocal refrains of opener “Down
N Out” to the next-level Wolfmother sound of closing effort “Liars and
Thieves,” Cosmic Shakedown’s Mammoth
Sessions EP is a bombastic collection of thunderous offerings from the
Buffalo, NY quartet. At a mere four tracks, the Mammoth Sessions EP is further proof that good things do indeed
come in small packages as this succinct collection bears no shortage of
standout cuts. Rays of Black Sabbath devotion permeate the smoky haze of “Tear
You Apart,” a sludge-filled trek through the bog accentuated by
just-fuzzy-enough, yet aurally stunning guitar leads, commanding vocals and
slick key progressions. Touching on virtually everything in rock’s sonic
underbelly from Southern and Psychedelic to Stoner and Doom, these Queen City
boys present something for just about everyone on the Mammoth Sessions EP.
