BLACK MAMMOTH ~ OVERLORD OF THE PLEASUREDOME. On June 10th, 1912, in the town of Villisca, The Moore family were all murdered by an unknown assailant who hid in their attic in the dark of the night.

The songs groove shifts mid song into a slightly more proto-ish groove with the guitarist injecting Iommi-like guitar colouring into his solo before the band as a whole shift things back into the songs heavy doom laden refrain and then close out as they began in gentle serenity. Final number ' Rise' once again begins serene and gentle then as on the previous track explodes into a sprawling doomic groove this time with the vocals ,still ethereal and gothic, taking on a more traditional doom meter. Around the midway mark things start getting a little lysergic with scorching lead guitar swooping and swirling over a heavy wash of distorted bass and pounding drums that gradually increases in speed before coming to a screeching conclusion. There are no points this time, but it might be nice to have an overview of the girls youre in a relationship with. Glistening arpeggios picked over a loose liquid bass line and shimmering percussion pave the way for those haunting vocals mentioned earlier, their introduction giving the song an almost gothic vibe, well that is until the hammer goes down and the band explode into a heavy doom groove with the vocal delivery following suite. ' Mirage' also uses that same ambience hinted at in the previous track only this time to open it's account. Then suddenly out of nowhere a ray of sunshine suddenly breaks through the gloom and we are briefly thrown a moment of quiet ambient solace only for the clouds to, just as suddenly, draw in and plunge us back into the abyss.

Take for instance first track ' Easy Riding', an instrumental where the listener is presented with low.slow riffage, phaser pedal dialled to destruction, that lurches and groans under the weight of its own heaviness, the song shifting back and forth through a series of differing dynamics, time and tempos as it drags itself along. Add into this equation vocals that have a haunting, ethereal quality and you begin to realise that Weird Tales are much more than your typical doom band.

Hence the term Grabby Beam.Ĭombining this new mechanic with these new chaotic levels leads to some really challenging skateboarding that requires you to pay lots of attention! It is so easy to get caught off guard with some of the different courses thrown your way, so you always need to be looking ahead to ensure you know what’s coming next.Doom, dark and dank is the name of the game where Weird Tales are concerned but unlike their Polish counterparts Dopelord, who plough a similar doomic furrow, Weird Tales lean towards a more space/psychedelic dynamic where thick heavily phased guitars, supported by throbbing bass and pounding percussion, sporadically burst into searing lysergic solo's. Simply, perform a grab trick in the purple beam, and you can go flying sky high. As UFOs fly around trying to abduct people, you can use their beams to elevate to higher areas in a level. As well as these, there is a new gameplay mechanic called ‘Grabby Beam’. These include 15 new story levels, 3 zone Bosses and 42 local heroes & challenges. VOID Riders brings with it a few major additions to the base game. This story is brilliantly written and a massive standout in the DLC! The New Additions of OlliOlli World: VOID Riders They even go as far as wanting to meet these “aliens” that the humans have mentioned. These aliens are absolutely hilarious in their observations of earth and the humans that inhabit it. The story in VOID Riders is honestly OlliOlli World’s funniest yet.
