Ripple's new fully remastered edition of ‘The Gathering Dark’ presents Wo Fat's hoodoo vision quest down the dusty back roads of a blues-infused, riff-filled netherworld of psychedelic heaviness. Here is where the band began their ascent up the holy mountainside, armed with the knowledge of long forgotten grooves and riffs of old. ‘The Gathering Dark’ is relentless swampy voodoo doom that's packed with acid-drenched solos, crushing riffs and tales of the weird.
