Adrift

Scott "Wino" Weinrich is a cult hero to Doom Metal enthusiasts across the globe and with his unique voice and organic, biker-psych guitar tone, has been bringing his unique Sabbath-inspired Doom/Stoner rock to us for the past three decades, performing under a number of guises including: Saint Vitus, The Obsessed, Spirit Caravan, The Hidden Hand and most recently in Neurot's supergroup, Shrinebuilder. "Adrift" is primarily an acoustic disc (there are electric guitar solos on several tracks, but no full-band performances) and follows 2008's fantastic "Punctuated Equilibrium", and while it's somewhat quieter, it's no less intense than his fully electrified material. Wino strums his acoustic guitar hard, and sings in a road-hardened voice that never dips into guttural theatrics. He multitracks and accompanies himself, and on some tracks, you can hear his foot thumping the rhythm like John Lee Hooker. Of the album's 12 tracks, two are covers: MotÂ¶rhead's "Iron Horse/Born to Lose" and Savoy Brown's "Shot in the Head." Both are transformed into slow, melancholy laments, the defiant lyrics of the MotÂ¶rhead song becoming something more like the dawning self-awareness of an aging biker who realizes a lifetime of choices have led him so far down the road that there's no turning back. Wino, like Lemmy, is a lifer who couldn't do anything but make music and tour even if he wanted to, and Adrift is an album that faces that reality with stoicism and power. It also reveals his too-often-hidden sensitive side amid a discography that's all about amp-frying riffs and thundering drums. Wino will be touring the U.S. to promote this record.
