MUSTASCH “Powerhouse” /CD/

The third full-length studio album by Swedish Heavy/Stoner Metal band.
Mustasch is back on track with their fourth album (and the third full-length), after venturing out with a different producer for "Ratsafari" a couple of years back. "Powerhouse" is indeed just that, chock-full of fat riffs and great production values with a big, mammoth sound and the best set of Mustasch songs to date!
From the immense, chugging riff that opens this newbie with "Haunted By Myself", to the Sabbathy "Frosty White", to the catchy melodrama of "Dogwash", to the strong title track, to the most commercially-accessible, albeit Poppish and Rocking track "I'm Alright", Powerhouse is a keeper! There is very little in the way of mid-level chunks in the stew, as the slower and perhaps somewhat weaker numbers are strategically placed as not to affect the flow of things.
Anyone who likes big, fat, macho Rock with heavyweight riffs and upper echelon vibes, should check this out! Even if the band's vocalist sounds like a stunt double for Ian Astbury from The Cult, you can't go wrong with "Powerhouse". Excellent stuff!!
The album peaked at number 10 on the Swedish charts.
