“As stoner rock & doom metal have expanded over the last few decades, we’ve seen more and more bands mining, for inspiration, the original, obscure, ‘proto-metal’ bands of the early 70s that ran parallel with Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. Bands like Dust, and Captain Beyond, or, taking it one step further, the bands featured on the now-legendary Brown Acid series on RidingEasy Records. It is here, in that Twilight Zone of hard rock & heavy metal, that Portland Oregon’s Greenseeker dwell. Sighting all the usual suspects as influences, they stand out from the pack slightly due to the fact they have a female singer, AND a female bass player, who also contributes vocals. As well, they deploy a Hammond organ-infused attack, that balances the riffage and retro sounds nicely.
The Wish, Greenseeker’s debut, released on StoneFly Records, sounds like it was shot through a time portal from 1970. Opener The Iron Tree immediately introduces the bands advertised traits. The Hammond organ is instantly on display, as well as some pleasant, warm, retro-shred courtesy of guitarist Max Siegfried, and vocalist Lauren Hatch’s ethereal, yet-commanding voice and fantasy-themed lyrics take center stage, as do her keyboard skills. Additionally, bassist Selina Cleary‘s background, harmonizing vocals directly compliment Hatch, achieving a soaring vocal effect”.
