Lonely Kamel: Dust Devil – new album

Apparently, Norwegian blues & groove (& a bottle of booze) outfit's, LONELY KAMEL, third album proves once again that it is “absolutely not necessary to be surrounded by desert sands and cacti in order to produce genuine stoner rock”. And since ‘Dust Devil’ is the Nordic alternative to the desert sands, (and for fans of the stoner rock genre a definite must-have!), buy the album – along with the rest of LONELY KAMEL's merch Napalm Records has to offer - here. But first, get acquainted with the quartet's latest offering by listening to their new tune, ‘Evil Man’, via player available below and visit The Obelisk for ‘The Prophet’, off the new release, which comes out today October 28th, 2011, via Napalm Records.

“The name sounds like a handheld vacuum cleaner, it’s true,” [introduces us to the LONELY KAMEL The Obelisk's H.P. Taskmaster] “Contrary to such appliances though, ‘Dust Devil’ doesn’t suck. Rather, LONELY KAMEL come off like graduates from the University of ROADSAW (with a minor in SIXTY WATT SHAMAN), infusing loud, driving heavy rock with a sensibility straight off the Delta.” [You’ll find the rest of his clever observations here]

“Describing the sound of LONELY KAMEL would be akin to creating a musical Frankenstein constructed from the legs of PENTAGRAM, the torso of CATHEDRAL, the arms of LYNARD SKYNARD, the head of PEARL JAM, and the heart of BLACK SABBATH. The band seems gleefully stuck in a '70's time warp complete with the hazy production. Vocalist/guitarist Thomas Brenna sounds like a marriage of Eddie Vedder and Bobby Liebling,” [explained Metal Underground's CROMCarl – more here]

The adventure that is LONELY KAMEL began in 2005 in Oslo, Norway, when bassist Stian Helle and vocalist and guitarist “Tumblin” Thomas Brenna, both being in love with different kinds of music, wanted to start a band that would combine all genres that they loved (the late '60s and the early 70's with the heavy blues and psychedelia being the predominant influences). LONELY KAMEL's self titled debut full-length was released in 2008, followed by 2010's ‘Blues For The Dead’ both issued on the Norwegian Little Bird Records and the Swedish Transsubstans Records, respectively. Napalm Records plans to re-release the much sought-after debut, ‘Lonely Kamel’, in the near future.
