Zebulon

Zebulon was formed following the demise of Desultory, the guys making the rare transition from full-on death metal to classic stoner rock. Volume One, the band's 2001 debut following an earlier EP, doesn't offer the listener anything new for the genre, but what it does, it does well -- loud, heavy rock in the Fu Manchu tradition, with perhaps just the faintest of Southern rawk influences here and there. A bit more variation wouldn't go amiss, the songs sounding too similar to each other after a few listens, but it's a good first effort (the band recorded Troubled Ground three years later), and as part of a healthy Scandinavian stoner scene, Zebulon fit in well. They are likely done now, as the core lineup reverted to become a reformed Desultory in 2009.
