Stoner Hive Blog (5/5): "Their new album is called The Old Colossus and continues on with that massive Redscale sound. Indeed, it’s huge, it’s large, it’s stoner rock, it’s stoner metal and it’s damn freaking awesome! [...] Redscale outdid themselves once again with The Old Colossus." Metal Epidemic (4/5): "Putting riffs front and centre, Berliners Redscale are loud and proud on their new release, The Old Colossus. Best described as stoner heavy rock, they take the heavy grooves from the likes of Clutch, strap on some turbo charged heavy rock then light the blue touch paper and wait…." Arrow Lords of Metal (8,5/10): "Sometimes you hear an album for the first time and then it immediately grabs you completely; this was the case with 'The Old Colossus' by Berlin-based band Redscale. [...] The often quite uptempo stoner music is very skilful, but it also has that extra bit of conviction; sometimes agonizingly droning, sometimes thundering like a bulldozer and sometimes slightly psychedelic floating, but always catchy." Metal Temple (8/10): "Along with quality production work and superb musicianship, the song writing on this album takes it to another level that eclipses many of their genre-mates. It’s a strong offering that should stand them in good stead for the full re-opening of the live music industry that we are all deeply craving and hoping for the coming year. Recommended for fans of VALIS, CLUTCH and KYUSS." Musipedia Of Metal (8/10): "Hailing from Berlin the band have two full lengths and an EP to their name before this record but The Old Colossus feels like it could be Redscale at their absolute best, the songs here are all sculpted for maximum power, giving you the feeling that Redscale could be pretty incendiary live, as the faster offerings such as On The Run and It’s A Death Cult, Baby blast away with muscle, the title track crawls with a psych doom drag as Hard To Believe and Wall Of Bricks are both big riffing mid-pace rockers. The album sounds huge from both the compositions and production making for a great listening experience. Ballsy, thunderous stoner metal/rock The Old Colossus is a serious slab of stoner, from these Berlin based bruisers. Turn it up and bang your head." Echoes and Dust: "Holy shit in a fucking handbag! Where is this coming from? [...] Oh, hell yeah! Redscale launched back in 2015 in the heart of Berlin. They are a quartet stoner metal band that will make your skin crawl to the bone. Redscale have released two studio albums and a debut EP. This year, they released their third studio album on the Majestic Mountain label entitled, The Old Colossus. It is a brutal menacing force that carries a package of heart-pounding eruptive metal at is finest! There are stronger vibes between Mastodon, Bigelf, and Motorpsycho rolled into a big, giant Burrito that is mixed in with Wasabi and Tabasco sauce which makes it spicy, red hot! [...] The Old Colossus is a breathing firestorm. It is an album that we badly needed from Redscale. It is a burst of rumbling thunder waiting to happen to bring all of the anger and energy to the forefront." Outlaws of the Sun: "The Old Colossus is the 3rd album from German Psych Stoner Rockers Redscale and sees the four piece band taking the tricks and trades from Stoner Rock masters such as KYUSS, Clutch, Fu Manchu and Truckfighers and giving it their own mini-makeover. [...] This is Redscale’s show and The Old Colossus is a brilliantly entertaining album and if you’re on the lookout for a good old fashioned Stoner Rock/Metal album that nails the finer elements of the genre down to a fine art form then Redscale are here to welcome you with open arms." The Sleeping Shaman: "You can feel the energy of the band through the speakers and I can only imagine the live experience. I would love to see that one day and playing this album start to finish would be a mind-blowing experience. Redscale has put out a fantastic follow-up to 2019s Feed Them To The Lions. Their future is promising." More Gain Magazine: "From the very first song it’s evident that The Old Colossus is filled with very potent songs that step out of the general line of Stoner Rock bands out there. [...] As an overview, The Old Colossus is an album with a very solid and consistent sound that is very much worth checking out. I’d also encourage you to listen to Redscale’s early stuff, but I can’t recommend this album enough! Definitely one of the best Stoner Rock albums to come out this year! Go listen to Redscale!" The Obelisk: "Rock for rockers. Berlin four-piece Redscale roll out a scenario in which Clutch and Kyuss and Soundgarden and Truckfighters and probably six or seven other of your favorite heavy rock live acts got together and decided to put down a batch of kickass songs. That’s what’s up."… Expand
