Staring at the Divine (Alabama Thunderpussy) (851 words)
While Alabama Thunderpussy are loud-and-nasty blues metal, this tattooed, bearded bunch are surprisingly melodic--songs like "Hunting by Echo," the slow, hypnotic grind and sinuous solos of "Twilight Arrival," and the portentous-to-rollicking trippy twin-guitar outing that is "S.S.D.D." are highlights in a disc full of stellar subsonic sounds for the discriminating dirtbag.
Alabama Thunderpussy are, without much consideration, at the top of the mountain in the underground stoner rock/metal scene in 2002.
Alabama Thunderpussy is one of today's most promising bands in the underground rock scene and with a little noteriety, they just might have what it takes to hit it big.

It's hard to pin this down, because I don't think he's doing it on purpose; it's just that all of a sudden there it is, and like an elephant in the room I can't just ignore it.
Alabama Thunderpussy probably won't revive the sagging ghetto of heavy metal the way Metallica did in the early '90s, but SATD is a noteworthy peak for a genre that has been steadily descending into the quagmire.
ATP has at least shown that they are aware of the roots of metal, and that those songs and artists can still be drawn from as an inspiration for creating new music.
