This U.S. Christmas record either beautifully symphonic or a fucking mess...I’m going with both, and I think that’s what makes it a particularly interesting listen. Some folks might consider this ‘stoner rock’, although I’m not sure what that means exactly. If you’re thinking along the lines of Sleep, Caustic Resin, High on Fire...in other words, bands who really like Black Sabbath and the wrath that has been brought to this land since their inception, then you’re on the right track. U.S. Christmas sound like this, sure; but something about them is a bit off, probably due to the fact that they were born, raised, and exist in a tiny town in the mountains of North Carolina. It’s this extra bit that makes them interesting and not repetitive.
