Doom/Thrash/Stoner metal that just goes on and on and on...I can't say I knew too much about Bison BC before I put in their new CD Dark Ages -but there was probably a reason. To be fair, I have read some positive things about the band, hence checking out this CD, but after a few listens, I'm not quite sure what all the hype was about. Bison BC is a concoction of Doom, Stoner and Thrash all mixed into one. Confusing, I know. I think if the band were to focus on one sound, then this might of worked a little better. The songs are long and really didn't take me anywhere - except the to the FF button. There were only 2 tracks that kind of grabbed me: Stressed Elephant and Two-Day Booze. This first track is heavy and incorporates some melody, unlike many tracks on this disk, while Two Day incorporates a cool riff at the beginning, but then doesn't go much further from there. Most tunes are slow and droning, and do not contain much substance. Not impressed with this one.
Bottom Line: Music that doesn't take the listener anywhere. The songs on this CD drone on and leave the me bored.
