LAND OF SLEEPER
My Rating
7/10
Average Critic Rating
7.5/10
Overview
Pigs (x7) have produced an album that is a thunderous descent into heavy, sludgy Metal, capturing raw energy throughout. The Newcastle band showcases their signature mix of Doom Metal and hard-hitting Punk grit, resulting in hypnotic, bone-rattling riffs and an intense experience from start to finish. The lyrics tackle dark themes, yet the album feels strangely uplifting, as if Pigs (x7) are calling on listeners to embrace their inner chaos. While ‘Land of Sleeper’ might not be for everyone, it’s certainly worth a listen, proving that the band can craft an intense, atmospheric experience that hits with unapologetic force.
Recommended for sluggish stoner metalheads looking to headbang for 40 minutes.

Album Artwork Rating
8.5/10
It’s a piece of artwork that gives off a dreamy emotion yet feels almost hellish at the same time. The color palette is soothing and definitely adds to the dreamlike theme. Looking at this cover, the Land of Sleeper seems like the place to be.
