A solid and promising EP in the vein of stoner rock/metal and southern metal bands such as Kyuss, Down, CoC, etc. Yet another reason I consider Louisiana to be the home of some of the best bands the US has to offer.

"Warlock rock" is what Ole English call their diverse and different grooves and who am I to argue, when grooves are this damn good they can call them what they damn well please!

about
"Follow me children of the sonic cloth to the riff filled land of Ole English. A land where riffs are richly cultivated and expertly calibrated against a thunderous low-end for the ultimate pleasure of you the listener. Give but a moment to go and press play and "you will remember this day..." " - Jamey Morris (Fistful of DOOM)
"When it comes to subverting expectations, Ole English have got it down to a fine art. Even the very name – conjuring images of bards and paladins – clashes against the band’s hometown of Lafayette, Louisiana, and the jigsaw-type lore they build their songs on. It’s with affection that they term their fuzzy, whiskey-soaked brand as ‘Warlock rock’, and the five songs on this self-titled jaunt are as composed as they are well-composed.
Each song brings the medieval to the modern age: the journeyman vibes of opener “Paladin” fit right in with the ride-until-you-die ethos of Kyuss et al; “Old Man” showcases Nick Harvey’s belting vocals in a heartfelt number not unlike Soundgarden’s repertoire; “Holy Roller” is a nod to the 70s vintage rock plied by Uncle Acid, Graveyard and the like. Plenty more influences come to the fore, from The Sword to Kingston Wall, but the ultimate takeaway from Ole English is a damn good night of rocking fun with 40oz’s, a bit of herb and story-telling that delves into all kinds of strange matter.
Such a strong early release out the gate will cement Ole English’s place in their hometown’s playlist for 2019, and the band already have their sights set on the road after a set of successful runs through the US – there are plenty more places in need of an Ole English

" "Hooks... write them and they will come" could well be the thinking behind the first track to be presented on "Ole English" for here is a song with more "hooks" than a high school cloakroom, curly little guitar licks tagged on to the end of crunching riffs that immediately grab your attention and pull you further into the songs raucous groove and when you ally those hooks with the strong throaty vocals and pulsating rhythms that they decorate well who could blame you for sticking around. "Old Man" is the next track to raise its head and what a wonderfully gnarly head it is full of chugging metallic swagger and bluesy bluster and blessed with a clean powerful voice. "Heel" follows and has a groove pitched at the punkier end of the stoner rock spectrum both vocally and musically, however its not long before Ole English's blues rock credentials begin to show and the band close the song with a high energy... more

《 If the soul is the source of all life, then what distinguishes the humanity we hold within ourselves? 》 — Description d'une Humanité, Dark Souls. Hidetaka Miyazaki. L'humanité est liée aux abysses et à la corruption mais elle est salvatrice. Ce paradoxe, Merlin s'en sert de socle dans The Wizard. Plus complexe sur le plan émotionnel, cet album porte le poids du mystère et de la mélancolie — l'ajout du saxophone, superbe, y est pour beaucoup. Mais plus Merlin est sombre, plus il est enflammé !

A lot of Sabbath, a little Jethro Tull, lots of 70s fuzz guitars. I ended up enjoying this one a lot more than I thought I would.
