The powerful language of David Eugene Edwards ......... & MANY OTHERS BUT THATS THE MAIN BAG FULL!!!! Press and Praise for Pick Up The Snake: Stonerrock.com "If you can imagine what it would sound like if Dave Wyndorf sang for the NOLA supergroup Down, youd have a close approximation of Pick Up the Snakes sound. Over five songs, this Tennessee four-piece throw down some swampy, Sabbath-infused metal with vocals so uncannily similar to Monster Magnet... Still, if youve been disappointed with the current direction of Wyndorf and Co. or need to flesh out your swamp metal collection, you could scratch that itch with Feel the Fire." (Review by John Pegoraro)***** Cosmiclava.de (Germany) "It's always a delight to discover a new band, especially one as wonderful as this one. Combing a double-dose of Sabbathian riffs with 80's thrash metal and a dash of Crowbar heavyness, PICK UP THE SNAKE's "Feel The Fire" MCD, self-released in 2005 is a dark brooding cauldron of wonders. "Into The Sea" vaults into action on a rush of Celtic Frost-like riffs and up-tempo beats....The downtuned riffs are fat and chunky, and Nathan Wright also is a powerful singer who clearly fell into this thick and massive sound.....heavy melodic cuts, fueled with a soulful and blistering guitarwork... it's without any exaggeration an excellent release, that kicks a lot of more popular heavy bands out of the race.***** (KK) Black Angel Promotions "Tennessee has produced a great Stoner/Doom Metal band in Pick Up The Snake. The band features former members of Skeyebone and Inlaws.If you love the stuff that Sabbath, Corrosion of Conformity, Cathedral and Place Of Skulls has done in the past, you'll no doubt love this band and their EP.....devastatingly heavy guitar and bass riffs....Wright proves himself as a vocalist and guitarist time and time again. "Slide You The Horn", is my favorite of the five tracks...the riffs, hooks and lyrics in this tune take me back to my younger days where I didn't give a damn about anything but Booze, Drugs and loose women...the lead breaks again hammered me. The band brings the Doom back with vengeance on "Salvation". Everything about this song is dark. The lyrics, guitar riffs/leads and tempo breathe eternal damnation so deep into my lungs that it's almost hard to breathe. Now that's what I call real Doom...Pick Up The Snake refuses to be denied. The band crushes on all levels on Feel The Fire. I could definitely see the band being the next big thing in the Stoner/Doom scene or maybe even radio!***** (review by "black angel") Hellridemusic.com "...solid debut..."***** (Chris Barnes) Daredevil Magazine (Germany) "...Stoner/Doom at it's best..."***** (RB) The Dailytimes. Maryville, TN. "...it's a sucker punch to the head with a pair of brass knuckles and a full-throttle slug of moonshine to the gut. In other words, it's a seathing cauldron of doom metal, stoner rock. A stew of growling, menacing vocals and foreboding guitars that gets you in a violent mood after a single listen."***** (Steve Wildsmith) Perkele.it (Italian stoner/doom site) "...gruff and powerful stoner/doom centered around aggressive guitars and a voice that seems to cross between Dave Wyndorf, Wino and Matt Pike."***** (review by Alessandro) Devolution Magazine (United Kingdom) "Stoner/doom metal is an established genre and one that demands certain conformities from it's bands, as do they all, but these four guys from Tennessee take the scene and make it feel fresh again. Pick Up The Snake are heavier than Sixty Watt Shaman, vocally similar to Monster Magnet but more lyrically varied and friends with some of the seriously great guitarists of our generation, find a middle ground in there and open your mind and you will be close. If you like heavy, doomy down tuned riffs in the Sabbath vein with that Marlboro smoking, bourbon drinking gravely voice then find out more at www.pickupthesnake.com***** (review by Phoenix) Downtune Despondency (Australia) ....trust me when I tell you they have their very own unique offering into the world of doom noise. Feel The Fire melds together a representation of harsh, whiskey drenched vocals, psychedelically infused guitar riffs, with a menacing back beat that will knock you on your arse! The sound quality on the CD is nothing short of perfection and the cover art is an interesting representation of the band. Heavy as all hell, distortion for your listening pleasure, welcome to stoner rock doomination! Pick Up The Snake demands your attention upon the very first note and keeps you there until their menacing sermon is complete. Downtune Despondency salutes you!***** (review by Kitty) Classic Rock (United Kingdom) Pick your fave New Wave Of British Heavy Metal band- the one with the twistiest guitars- toss in a jug's worth of immaculately stoned doom rock, wrap it up in corn-husk Jesus hillbilly hoodoo, and you've got (Tennessee's) finest fuzz farmers Pick Up The Snake. These guys sound like they know how to skin things and I respect that. (review by Sleaze grinder) Pick Up The Snake's debut ep Feel The Fire is out now!
