To describe this set with one phrase, the riff is king. These guys have produced a sound that is very nearly heavy metal, but probably lands more in the hard rock zone. There is definitely stoner rock at its core, but it's tempered with things from psychedelia to even the hard rock of early Grand Funk Railroad. Fire in the Field's music is fuzz-drenched and so cool.

The fast paced riff that starts this is just so cool. This thing powers out like screaming hot old school heavy metal. It drops to a mellow kind of groove for the vocal section. They alternate between those two sections. They both get expanded upon at different points along this road. This is part old school heavy metal, part progressive rock and part stoner rock. It's all cool.

Killer riffs are again at the heart of this. The proggy and mellower elements of the previous cut are gone here. Instead, the stoner rock kind of element really creates the concept of the tune. It does drop back for some killer rocking guitar soloing, though. This thing is fuzz-laden and so tasty.

There is a bit of a punky edge to this piece. The tune works through some changes within it's stoner rock grind. This is another killer cut on a disc that's full of them.
