And today, it’s The Shaman absolute honour to bring you a taste of the insanity to come with the title track, A Pound For The Peacebringer, which negotiates a colossal landscape of doom, sludge, psych, and even a touch of Hammon organ 70s influenced heavy rock, across its mammoth near seventeen-minute runtime in that infectious way only Spider Kitten know how to deliver.
