Triskaidekaphobia: noun, From the Merriam Webster's dictionary is an
irrational fear of the number 13. In Western cultures, the number 13
conjures up dark images of ghosts & ghouls, witches & demons. Gamblers and
those among us that cling to superstitions dread the intersection of the
number 13 with the unluckiest day of the week, Friday. So, it's fitting
that in their 13th year Sweden's Dozer should descend upon us like a vampire
bat to unleash their darkest and heaviest collection of tracks to date.
"Beyond Colossal" is Rock and Roll crafted in the finest traditions of Black
Sabbath and then bathed in the sublime blanket of the winter sunlight in
Sweden.
As with hundreds of other young Swedish bands, Dozer was the obvious answer
to the boredom of a small town youth in a land where the sun seldom visits.
After forming in 1995, Dozer emerged in 1998 with their debut 7" which was
awarded "Single of the week" in KERRANG! magazine. Dozer quickly progressed
beyond their early influences and created a style of their own incorporating
modern elements into their classic heavy rock sound. A sound that always has
been intensely heavy but yet also strongly song and melody driven by the
distinctive vocals of singer Fredrik Nordin. Dozer has carefully culivated a
following like none other and a reputation second to none due mostly
assuredly to their constant touring and explosive live shows. Dozer
scattered releases on labels like Meteor City, Man's Ruin, & their own
Molton Universe before finding a home here at Small Stone. With albums like
"Madre De Dios" & "Through the Eyes of Heathens" these simple Swede's have
established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the world of stoner
rock, often placed upon the same pedestal as the fathers of the movement -
Kyuss and Monster Magnet.
With the release of their 5th full length album "Beyond Colossal," these
sons of Sweden seemed poised to teach the Underground a lesson or two about
what Rock and Roll is all about. Recorded between Studios 301 in Stockholm
and Rockhuset Studios in their hometown of Borlänge, "Beyond Colossal" oozes
with both the bleakness and beauty of the landscape. One can almost feel
the sub-arctic winter cold that forces Tommi Holappa's fingers to moves with
superhuman speed alternating between beer chugging riffs and lightning solo's.
Of course a tour is in the works, and as anyone that ever seen Dozer live
will tell you, this is a band that always gives 110%. With a resume of live
shows that reads like a who's who's of Rawks newest and greatest (Mastodon,
Rollins Band, Hellacopters, Clutch, and Unida to name just a few) the men of
Dozer have proved one fact over and over again: Dozer are not to be missed,
it might be bad luck.
