Watering this Flower of Disease

Greg Anderson's short lived band Goatsnake wasn't around for long, but in a small period of time managed to bring forth some serious musical innovation. Flower of Disease is one of those albums that really does define a genre...uh...without fitting into any of them...sort of thing. While too stoner to be doom and too doom to be stoner, F.O.D. stands as a landmark in heaviness while also destroying trends such as adding uber-pixie Petra Haden (That Dog, The Rentals) on guest vox and violin adding a delicate touch of not heard up to that point, at least not in that context. Released on Man's Ruin in 2000, it's nearly impossible to find this CD so hopefully it will be re-issued at some point. More later...
