Gentle Beast‘s new album is a Fuzz-fuelled odyssey that has something in store for every Stoner Rock fan. The nine tracks pay homage to the greatest elements of the genre, from driving riffs and dark walls of bass to Psychedelic interludes and spherical vocals. Always with a wink, the lyrics about witches, vengeful buffaloes, wandering mammoths and space travellers do not omit any Stoner Rock clichés. Along with an examination of serious topics such as meritocracy, climate change and conspiracy theories, the record also denotes a certain critical streak.
Gentle Beast means Fuzzy, powerful Desert Rock riffs combined with Spacey melodies. As the name suggests, a love child between mystical gentleness and savage beast. Inspired by such masters of the genre as Kyuss, Fu Manchu, Truckfighters and Red Fang, the Basel-based quintet has dedicated itself to bass guitars, raw vocals and Heavy Psychedelic sounds.
The core of the band has always been the rough vocals of frontman Timo Dinter and the distorted guitar walls of Manuel ‘Cioffi’ Ciofalo and Janek Huschke. Tobias Rickli on bass and Chris Wild on drums recently completed the band. To date, they have played over 50 shows, supporting renowned bands such as High Reeper, DUEL, Monkey3 and King Buffalo.
