6.5/10 | While the riffs are tasty and the groove is heavy, the record does in the long run suffer from repetitiveness. The vocals are average and a little weak on the clean parts at times but that's up to taste, I got used to it. It isn't a record I put on and listen to all the way through, but individual songs are bangers. Dunkler Meister
This the bands second release based on a tale of a kingdom that has fallen on dark times.Still stoner but longer song as stated more proggish jams. I have to say these are some great tunes. I will not say one release is better than the other. Fantastic.Damn shame that it seems the band is no longer togeather. lloydd
If you like music that’s even remotely heavy, this EP is for you. It’s hard rock, heavy metal, doom metal, stoner rock, and so much more. My only question is this: WHEN WILL SONIC MEDUSA RECORD AGAIN? Kirk Gauthier
Brighton, UK band leaven surging hard rock with spaced-out stoner-doom on their second LP, recorded in an old chapel on the English coast. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 9, 2022
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
The drumming is excellent as usual, and the kit (gigantic bass drum included) sounds thunderous and well-mixed here! Big solos, big riffs, a big sound in general!! Stephan
