Danava
Hailing from Portland, Oregon, Danava clearly has no
use for modern metal.
Their debut, 2005 self-titled release screams 70's metal,
with a faint spacey/psychedelic edge that brings the
band close to stoner rock territory along with an interesting
late-70's
Black Sabbath
influence.
They've flown far under the radar ever since, sporadically
releasing albums, with the latest being 2023
Nothing But Nothing, which keeps the basic blueprint of
the debut but feels both more rooted in the 70's and more
developed and mature.
This is seriously fun to listen to, and like any good
retro experience, a familiar yet unique breath of fresh air.
