Kalgon premiere »Eye Of The Needle« on The Sleeping Shaman!
“Following lead single The Isolate that premiered with our brother-in-arms Outlaws Of The Sun back in March, it’s a great honour for The Shaman to bring you the latest single from Asheville, North Carolina’s tripped-out heavy stoner doom trio Kalgon for the seven-and-a-half minute riffy psych monster that is Eye Of The Needle.” – Lee (The Sleeping Shaman)
“»Eye Of The Needle« is an ode to throwback psych and blues riffs. With an opening riff that sets the cruise and just rides, the verse and chorus gets into the groove and drives, finally leaving us soaring at the end. We wanted to make a road trip song. Lyrically, it gets into the how and why from the perspective of Kalgon, the coercive parasitic hivemind that has taken over humanity.” – Kalgon
More about the band:
Kalgon’s 7 track debut album features the raw elements that have defined them since they began two years ago. With a truly DIY approach, Kalgon’s self-titled release portrays the trio as they sound, with minimal embellishment. The album was engineered by Kalgon and mixed by Kevin Boggs.
With heavy psych, thrash, blues and stoner-doom stylings matched with steady low end riffs, the album runs a varied and dynamic course, all while nodding to throwback doom grooviness.
Lyrically, the album tells a story of Kalgon, a fungus that reawakens from the Devonian period by having spores that remain preserved in the exosphere after a comet carries it into orbit around Earth for hundreds of millions of years. The fungus then begins to colonize the minds of humans, controlling them to reformulate the atmosphere of Earth for warmer, more favorable conditions and more methane for the hivemind parasitic space fungus.
