If you’ve been keyed in to the doom-stoner scene in Spain, Kabbalah needs no introduction. I suspect, however, there are many for which this is a new name. The Pamplona threesome is the brainchild of Carmen (drums) and Marga (bass), formerly of local rock 'n’ rollers Las Culebras. As fun as that collaboration was, the pair hungered to delve into darker realms of witchcraft and the forbidden arts. Inspired by retro heavy psych, they released their eponymous debut in 2013. Two years later, Alba joined the team, adding a new dimension of bad-ass with those wicked guitar licks. Clearly, Kabbalah was evolving into something very special, already evident by their subsequent record, 'Primitive Stone’ (2015).
But nothing could have prepared us for the punctuated equilibrium of a leap forward that led to 'Revelations’ (2016). With a clever blend of seventies stoner rock, catchy sixties-inspired choruses, a dark, Sabbathian undertone, and hints of the traditional music of the region, Kabbalah etched out a distinctive sound that made me an immediate fan (the closest point of comparison I could think of was West Virginia’s Brimstone Coven, with notable differences).
