The Lord Knows

Bucky Every Tidal Wave starts as a Ripple, and The Lord Knows engulfs the listener with persistent groove, hook-laden riffs and aural machismo…. Eroded desert rock drowned in rhythm and soaked with charm.

overmuchh This is an amazing album! Favorite track: Purple Bird.

elhater A big step forward on the evolution of their sound. Here we can find catchy riffs, brain-melting solos, passionate drumming all mixed with a powerful variation of pace and rhythm. More work is needed if they want to really stand out in a scene that's having a resurgence these days but this album definitively puts the on the path to achieve that. Favorite track: Pentagram.

about

Sundsvall-based stoner rock merchants Tidal Wave hit all heavy rock households with a deluge of raucous fuzz anthems on their anticipated sophomore album "The Lord Knows". Having left their stamp on the Swedish stoner rock scene with their 2019 debut "Blueberry Muffin", the talented four-piece returns with an impressive and memorable collection that fills every molecule with fire, fuzz and power. From the rip-roaring and cathartic power of "Robbero Bobbero" to the stadium-worthy hooks of "Purple Bird", Tidal Wave delivers epic solos for ages and mind-blowing vocals. It's the ultimate blend of in-your-face stoner rock and classic heavy bravura!

The Faceless King
by Vitskär Süden

supported by 414 fans who also own “The Lord Knows”

Vitskär Süden's debut was one of my favorite albums of 2020. After spending a week curled up with their follow-up, I can confidently say that it is even better. It's not as immediate as the predecessor, but the songs keep unfolding and opening with each listen, and the end result is a thing of beauty and joy. In other words: this is really really goddamned great. Akira Watts

So refreshing to hear this sound; groove, great chorus transitions, and technical when it needs to be. Best find of the year so far and a band to watch. David Rothbauer
