• NOLA is a vibrant debut that captures both the raw spirit of its New Orleans roots and the collective power of its supergroup lineup. Born out of a creative hiatus, the album channels the members shared love of 70s heavy rock, southern blues, and doom-laden grooves into something cohesive and deeply expressive. From the thunderous riffs of Lifer and Bury Me in Smoke to the haunting melancholy of Jail and Stone the Crow, NOLA showcases a dynamic songwriting range, anchored by Phil Anselmos fierce yet emotionally resonant vocals.

  The album stands as a powerful statement of Southern metal, blending gritty, stoner-sludge heaviness with melodic sensibility. The musicianship is tight and unpretentious, trading flashy excess for authenticity, while the production delivers just enough dirt and clarity to let every riff land with impact. NOLA feels both timeless and immediate an unassuming classic forged from genuine passion and brotherhood.
