UMUR
"Cults 'n' Cunts" is the debut full-length studio album by Belgian sludge metal act Your Highness. The album was released through Hammerheart Records in July 2011.

Eight tracks distributed over a 28:41 minutes long playing time featuring some pretty standard sludge metal. That´s about what you get with "Cults 'n' Cunts". The music is well played, well produced and to a certain extent well written. But when that is said the album does come off as pretty unremarkable. It´s not an album I remember after it´s finished, but it´s pretty enjoyable while it plays. It´s pretty much no nonsense sludge metal in the not so filthy end of the spectrum with some leanings toward 70s hard rock. Check out the bluesy hard rock soloing or a harmony lead like the one in "Skull Goblet" for examples of that influence. The vocals are your usual raw and shouting type vocals.

"Cults 'n' Cunts" is in many ways a quality sludge metal album, but as mentioned above it´s not an album I remember much from when it has finished, so if you ask me the songwriting definitely could use some improvement. A 3 star (60%) rating is fair.
