Worshipper: “James Motel”

The metal headbanger steez. Worshipper does the psych rock thing too. But our highlighted track “James Motel” feels more straightforward, less lifted. A fat-edged buzzy distortion propels the guitar progressions throughout the song, as the vocals cheerlead them on. Watch for a monster breakdown a little after the three-minute mark.
