Ik hou van HEAVY, maar ik hou ook van een gezonde dosis melodie en net dat onderscheidt deze Houstonians van het pack. Sky Burial laat stevige riffs horen zonder te verzanden in een monotone brei. Ik heb ook wel iets voor die cleane vocals die bijdragen aan het melodieuze aspect van het nummer. Ergens in de verte hoor ik bands als The Vintage Caravan, al blijft Warlung wat dichter bij de zwaardere NWOBHM-sound, zij het met doom en psych invloeden.

Warlung took the heavy rock underground by storm in 2017 with the release of their debut album "Sleepwalker". Playing festivals such as End Hip End It Fest and opening for acts like Wo Fat and Dead Meadow, they quickly gained a cult following and high praise by both fans and critics alike. Less than a year later, they entered the studio to record their second album, which was released in February 2019. Immortal Portal hit #14 of the Doom Charts and was included to Weedian’s first artist compilation. Warlung continued to host various breweries and festivals like SXSW, and quickly became a fan favorite within the local rock community and abroad. Their audience grew as they opened for bands such as High Reeper, Forming the Void or King Buffalo. Their hotly anticipated third album "Optical Delusions" (2020, Heavy Psych Sounds) was hailed as "prodigious" by Metal Hammer and "texas-sized, riff-glazed doom seasoned with psychedelia and 70s prog" by Zero Tolerance Magazine.
