The bands will be playing together on the following dates:

Not content to regurgitate the trite Sabbath vis-a-vis Sleep formula imitated by droves of doom disciples, Green & Wood has crafted a sound that is infinitely richer and more organic than the overwhelming majority of its less progressive peers. While echos of familiar influences as Pentagram and Blue Cheer permeate the hypnotic throb of Green and Wood's monolithic riffs, the magick of this inaugural offering lies in its ability to seemlessly meld the most compelling aspects of numerous diverging strains of heavy metal into a cohesive conglomerate of deafening psychedelia. While other acts' efficacy is often hindered by such dilettantism, Green and Wood's disparate influences only serve to fortify the boldness and originality of their distinctly potent distillation of heavy metal and hard rock.

Building from the Sabbath formula as a foundation rather than a template, Green & Wood manages to integrate the sprawling spatial sensibilities of Hawkind alongside the ethereal macabre of Pagan Altar. Elements of militant NWOBHM riffing saturate the album with a sense of menace while other moments provide a temporary reprieve from the metallic assault with a sense of somberness calling to mind the doom-laden hard rock of Leaf Hound. These varying points of reference create a firm groundwork for Green & Wood's more adventurous meanderings and only begin to touch on
the attributes that make Green and Wood's brilliantly crafted brand of hard rock particularly robust.

What really fuels Green & Wood's ascent from the Iommi-worshipping throng is the group's technical prowess and tendency to indulge in erratic and turbulent spouts of proggy wizardry in between the colossal trances of the more familiar metallic territory. Recalling lost 70's classics as Socrates Drank the Conium, Randy Holden's Population II, and Jerusalem's eponymous heavy prog masterpiece, these exercises in prog-infused hard rock suggest a nuanced understanding of heavy metal's roots far exceeding the extent of their contemporaries. Green and Wood clearly doesn't drink from the same stagnant bongwater as the rest of the doom droves.

With its initial offering, Green & Wood has woven a modern doom-rock masterpiece influenced by the forefathers of heavy metal and soaked in an impossibly dense atmosphere. This is the sound of trampled leaves underfoot and the ashen remains of a midnight ceremony. As the smoke swirls and the cloaked figure draws near, one must ask himself whether or not he is prepared to-
Enter the wood...
