Five years before Ghost and its band of ghouls swept the globe in popularity, San Diego heavy metal outfit Goblin Cook took a slightly less serious approach to an identical gimmick.

Rob Crowe of Pinback fame stars as Lord Phallus and features a cast of hooded unnamed instrumentalists. The band’s third LP showcases a bizarre yet well oiled marriage between Pinback‘s signature sound and the razor edge of Stoner and Sludge Metal.

Seattle Sludge trio Helms Alee strike back with a fourth LP plunging further into the darkest of depths than every before.
