Holy shit, Sahara fucking rules! I see it on Facebook constantly where people a dogging stoner doom and Sleep/Electric Wizard worship, but Sahara's dank riffs should pass the smell test with most for sure. The band delivers when it comes to sinister/seedy vibes and scuzzy soundscapes. Not really sure what's behind the name "The Light". Is it the light from the sun which baked this crusty nugget into it's crispy final form? Is it the light from the lighter which lit all of that hash the singer must have had to smoke to get his vocals to sound so blackened and guttural? Or is it some sort of spiritual/religious thing (probably/most likely)? I don't fucking know for sure though! I do know I'm really fucking into this album, and it's the right strain of Doom Metal you need to pack into your bowl. There's nothing psych or 70s sounding about "The Light", because the light on this album is going to take you on a stoner Odyssey to the fiery depths of hell . The guitar and bass have a fuzz sound that seems to originate from a were wolf's naval, and are as heavy and hairy as a Yeti. There's a little Sabbathian groove and swagger to them (in the same vein as Dopethrone), but these dudes would most likely scare the shit outta Sabbath if they played during their day (like Dopethrone as well). So that's a good sign when you're playing doom and you would most likely make them run for the hills. Overall, this album blows a lot of stoner shit out of the bong water. This is some good shit.
