Truckfighters - Masterflow

It has been a long, long time since I've paid very close attention to the stoner rock genre. For as much as I'm constantly listening to new death and black metal bands, I'm pretty sure my list of favourite stoner rock / metal albums hasn't changed since I graduated college in 2005.

An old co-worker recommended Truckfighters to me years ago, but I never actually followed through. When Masterflow dropped in the middle of an album release drought, I decided to heed what I felt was a sign. As often happens in my music-listening journey, I very quickly felt like an idiot for sleeping on this band.

This album is exactly the right blend of Kyuss and Dozer that I needed. The guitars are thick and fuzzy, and the riffs — my god, the riffs — are catchy as hell. I've already lost track of how many times I've listened to this album in its entirety; safe to say, Masterflow will be on my Albums Of The Year list.
