Heavy Kingdom

Beautiful music. Different. It is nice to hear things that try to stand out from the radio crowd these days. It doesn't have to be complicated to be enjoyed. What prompted me to buy this was when I heard a song from these guys on a Volcom mp3 player on Surfline.com (staring at crappy san diego surf). Evoked a lot of emotion in me and that is what made me buy it. You find music in the strangest places.

Incredible...every song is gripping and darkly emotional. Production is sparse yet it sounds full. I have been listening to this almost everyday since I got it and I like it more each day. Do yourself and Wino and Conny a favor and buy this...

Ok I have all the Wino stuff!! But this cd is something weird. He has an acoustic guitar with no drums and it was flat and boring! His voice is not strong enough to do this. Sorry it lacked in hooks and melody!!

Awesome record, filled with unforgettable songs.

Wino seems to be on an acoustic roll lately, and that's a good thing for all of us.  Adrift  The vocals as a result come through a lot more crisp and clear. These guys make an acoustic guitar wail like an electric. A couple of grim reapers casting dark and somber lyrics, though very stripped down and intense.Wino over the years has done it all with a work ethic that would bury the average artist six feet under. The man is a relentless creator of stunning artistry. Every offering reeks of doom but in a catchy "Wino Package" kinda way all dressed up in his natural, raw, heartfelt style.I read..."There are times for certain when you need to step away from the noise and seek some peace and tranquility and this is where "Heavy Kingdom" fits right in. It displays the same darkness and melancholy of the finest doom metal but with a delicacy of touch that sometimes can only be achieved by putting the amps into storage and stripping music back to its naked form.""Backed by nothing more than the pure power of the voices and guitars of Wino and Ochs, Heavy Kingdom shows surprising range in its raw soul, the iron fist of Wino fitting wonderfully and seamlessly into Ochs' troubadour grip. Hand in hand they explore mystic wilds and cowboy plains, often times straddling the divide, but always striving to drag a song's natural beauty out of the stirring shadows from which it is borne."...Posted by Jeff on Feb 26 2012 in Reviews(Broken Beard).That says it all. Heavy Kingdom is a magnificent album! It's just two guys with their guitars laying down some serious music.

Deeply soulful music from Wino and Conny. Their voices are perfect complements to each other. Saw them play twice this summer and was not disappointing. Heavy lyrics and beautiful melodies.

Mein Freund ist Wino - Fan...er hat schon einige Konzerte besucht, ob nun Wino allein, oder Saint Vitus. Ich hab mich von ihm anstecken lassen und ihm die Scheibe letztes Jahr zum Geburtstag geschenkt!! Tolles Ding

Dans la lignée de son album solo et acoustique intitulé "Adrift" (2011), Scott "Wino" Weinrich (SAINT VITUS, THE OBSESSED, SPIRIT CARAVAN, THE HIDDEN HAND) s'acoquine avec un certain Conny Ochs pour pondre un album très acoustique. Il ne faut pas craindre de gentilles ballades pastorales, tant la voix fatiguée et coassante de Wino envoie l'auditeur du côté obscur de l'existence. Vibrant et sincère.Alain Lavanne

Doomの生ける伝説、ワイノとドイツ人？コニー・オックスのコラボ作。出会った経緯はAdrift制作時だそうで。細かい事は言いません。WINO名義のAdriftが気に入ったのなら買いだと思います。相手のコニー・オックスもアルバムを出しています。そちらもぜひ。
