Surf Instro Review: Satan's Pilgrims - Self Titled

https://satans-pilgrims.com/

Satan's Pilgrims have turned it up a few notches on their first self-titled release for MuSick Recordings. It is no coincidence that this is by far the best output of music the group has had to date. The capable hands of MuSick have pushed the group into the stratosphere of surf-rock-instro stardom with their slashing, thundering, biting guitar.

The ever-present thumping bass lines, the rock-solid drumming, all the earmarks of great surf music—it's all here in its raging glory. Each song is a new and fresh progression of instro madness. Just listen to Hungarian Dance No. 5; it will surely convince you of the capabilities of this fine group. 

I have listened to a few of this group's previous releases, and they sound tame compared to this release. That is not to say that their previously released music is not good; it is. This CD's sound, production, and excellent musicianship just floored me!

The 3rd wave of surf groups is rolling right into your shore with all the untamed surf's power, intensity, and electricity. Satan's Pilgrims are amongst the elite of the genre. Can't you hear the waves beckoning you to swim in the endless expanse of reverb?
