Mushroom River Band
With a name like the Mushroom River Band, one might expect some
sort of psychedelic and/or stoner rock, and sure enough it's
classic stoner metal that's on display here, though not of the
trippy/psychedelic variety.
Fans of
Spiritual Beggars
will likely recognize vocalist Spice, who for some time was in
both Beggars and MRB before opting out of the former to concentrate
his efforts here.
His is a prototypical stoner metal voice, not too far removed from
Kyuss
frontman John Garcia,
and in general the Mushrooms don't add much new to the genre but
nonetheless are clearly an accomplished and heavy band, in fact
they do sound quite a bit like the Beggars at times.
Comparing their two albums, the debut
Music For The World Beyond would appear to be the more
experimental and diverse, while
Simsalabim is more straightforward
in its pedal-to-the-metal approach.
They broke up somewhere around 2004.
