\"Over the last couple of years Opium Warlock has built up an eclectic collection of wild, ambient, psychedelic, nasty, and sometimes bizarre sludge/doom tunes, spread out over a variety of splits and EPs. But now with a little help from Fuzzy Cracklins Presents the project will see its first full-length album \"Opium Sunrise\" - twisting together every hazy and untamed aspect of the music that's come before. Opium Sunrise is filled with long, creeping songs that will leave unsure if you're high, sick, or dreaming. Full, fat, and occasionally brutish riffs gurgle in the depths, with a distorted rumbling that you can lose yourself in like you're gazing into a roaring fire. Sometimes synth lines that are simultaneously eerie and whimsical are layered on top and it creates a disorienting dynamic that will leave you feeling dizzy and delirious - a swirling trip falling down a bottomless pit. But don't let those moments get your guard down too much, because harsh and wretched sludge passages will reach out of the walls drag you into a world of ugly filth. But at the same time, don't keep your guard up too much, because you can also be wafted into a shadowy, ambient wonderland of abstract audio treasures. This album really is a trippy smorgasbord of dark and murky music. It's kind of like being in a haunted labyrinth funhouse, wandering around lost, finding a new kind of wicked curiosity in each room and corridor. It's a killer album - best experienced from start to end without any breaks - but it may be a bit hard to understand until you're knee deep in it, so put the record on already!\" -Brandon (Super Dank Metal Jams)

this album is about how hard it is to live and look for a place in this world if you are a lonely wizard with mental issues and he is also about drugs, depression, death and magic
