Totem by Night Goat
"It's tempting to dub Totem the best sludge metal album I've heard for aeons, but there's a lot more going on here than your typical Eyehategod/Crowbar worship[...] Night Goat's 2019 debut, Milk, was impressive, but this is a new plateau for the band" --The Wire
"Night Goat don’t disappoint in the noisy, fucked-up soundstakes on new track “Wendigo” and its accompanying, and equally disquieting, video. Yeah, you can kinda use the Melvins as a vague musical reference point here, but only in so much as Night Goat [...] approaches its metallic sludge with a sort of manic, unhinged fury" --Decibel
"There is something so fresh yet comfortingly familiar with what Night Goat do and the wide range of musical styles on offer force you to give the record repeated listens. Whether death rock, grunge, doom or noise-rock is your bag, there will be something to please you on Totem" --The Sleeping Shaman
