The Sinking Earth
author: Jersey Beat Magazine
THE SINKING EARTH - Sunbeaten (www.drprecords.com). This is by far the best album I've gotten to review in a long time. Eight tracks of pure Stoner Rock, Hard rock, whatever you wanna call it; all I know is that it fuckin rocks and if you are into any of the genres mentioned above, you'll dig the shit outta this CD. The songs all have great build-ups and breakdowns, and a few droned out parts here and there for good measure as well. The vocals fluctuate between singing (not whiny singing) and screaming, which gives each song a unique flow. The drums were recorded rather raw, but it works for this band; and it helps that the drummer is proficient enough to where the recording quality really doesn't matter. Overall a great record, and one that hasn't left my weekly CD rotation in quite awhile. =Phil P.

Heavy distorted rock!
author: Pam
5{one word to describe The Sinking Earth, LOUD! Everything in the CD is distorted from the guitars to the vocals. The heavy guitar and bass riffs, backed up the pounding drum beats, all come together to complament Hank Kryeski's heavy screams.

Get high and rock out to the Sinking Earth
author: Mack Osbourne
The Sinking Earth is for real. Fu Manchu and Clutch in a blender with some Diamond Nights and a touch of fuzzed out Melvins Rock and Roll. Most stoner band records get boring to me, not this one! Each song finds it's own groove. Listen. It's great stuff!

The Sinking Earth, bringing it hard and heavy!

DRP Records has a reputation for releasing some pretty heavy recordings. In fact, every one of the DRP records that has passed through our office has been heavy (well, except for The Skyline Drive, but that’s another story). So when we received this disc, my expectations were that The Sinking Earth was gonna bring it to me pretty hard. I was correct.
Sunbeaten starts off with a drudge of a song called Heel Of Deal; the band keeps this vibe throughout the remainder of the recording. Sludgy guitars litter the sonic landscape as Hank Kryeski’s demonic voice lingers between musical breakdowns. As the slower, grungy rhythms grind away, the band drops distorted line after distorted line, faulting only when the change sounds ill-conceived. (Key track: Weight & Sea.)
