Petersen apes a perfect System of a Down’s Serj Tankian in the indefatigably Primus-gone-stoner “Dance like a Volcano” (an obvious play on Genesis’ “Dance on a Volcano”), though he growls more aggressively while inserting strange spoken-word passages in the dynamic “Esophagus Overdrive.” In the latter half of the title track, he approaches the golden tenor of Goatsnake’s Pete Stahl. The band does throw a few change-ups that serve as breathers between long swaths of untamed metal: “Iron Hörse” is a short interlude of toy synth and muffled arguing in Deutsch, while “My Funeral Procession” lopes along mournfully with an acoustic guitar and Nick Cave-like vocals.

“I Desert” and “Spirit & Crown” are parallel highlights: after nearly three minutes of End of Level Boss-like ambient soundscapes, the tracks lurch forward like Chingalera, drawing lines of definite experimentation while remaining undeniably heavy-handed. Even the nine-minute closer, “Stanislav Petrov,” throws together all above elements for a final tonnage of dastardly maniacal riff-rock. Among the doom cognoscenti, Beehoover should be regarded as a vibrant entropic force that taps into the reptilian core of a headbanger’s brain.
