King Bong: Pinng

Instrumental Stoner Rock

1.0/5.0

Words by Scott Ward,  20.05.2014

It is hard for me to understand why some things happen period. Mosquitos are one example. Skunks are another. Then there is King Bong. For the 35+ minutes that you have to endure to make it through this one song EP you will be sorely tested until you realize that you have just wasted a half hour of precious time on this drivel.

King Bong: deer in the headlights.

Starting out with “borrowed” riffs from the Black Sabbath catalogue and from there descending into a pit of noise and bizarre attempts of musicality, this disc is much better used as a Frisbee trainer for my dog then ever gracing my cd player. There is just nothing here worth the time or the effort. Very few albums do I find that have nothing at all to offer the listener but this is one. Unless you use the bong water as a cocktail, stay away!
