With Demonic, Her could Ibliss Kuala Lumpur is virtually alone on the international map of the drugged-out vintage stoner Doom position. A circumstance that they associate with the solid Morning Star underline.
In a genre in which everything essential has long been said, the trio from Malaysia is in the slipstream of more prominent ones Electric Wizard-Epigons and colleagues from the Regain Records-Store finally continues to have enough feeling for atmospherically captivating scene competence in stock that the songwriting of Morning Star – Morning Star – can be kept so emphatically simple that each of the six numbers lasts over 40 minutes (a calculation that only works if you don’t include the hidden track in the finale, which meanders as a dirty bass idleness and has actually long since gone out of fashion subtracts from the sum together with the preceding silence) can only consist of one idea, usually endlessly repeated, in which the singing can only appear sporadically as an additional aesthetic decision without being redundantly left off the hook.
Made in Hell howls as an instrumental intro marking the status quo from fuzz hell with a lot of powerful heaviness, ripping between tough and crisp pressure, before the title track Morning star a well-drawn retro riff rocks, letting the vocals stroll a bit more moodily than the formula dictates.
At latest Sold Your Soul to the Devil but then it also shows why Ibliss stand out from the crowd when a soulful, creeping blues on the organ carpet becomes wonderfully banal “Baby, Baby, Baby“-platitudes: an instant catchy tune!
Flower ov Evil gathers there as a haunted house interlude (which, like everything else here, claims more playing time than is economically necessary – but wallows in the broadcast) in order to be with Living Like a Sinner, the second clear highlight of the record, kicking off a slo-mo roller, in which the step on the accelerator happens with a slithering groove casualness that Electric Eel Shock with Boris-Backdrop makes you think super snappy – or just the fork where Fu Manchu von Kyuss separate. Only that Ibliss hold the hit in denial position, and with Killing Spree follow up with a casual jam ecstasy with cool passion that leaves out the really igniting aha effect without any big spectacle. The outstanding moments of this second work also cast shadows.
