-El Topo is the name a mystical gunman, riding from desert town to town seeking vengeance for those downtrodden and forgotten, never afraid to spill the blood of his enemies. And the name of a stoner band from London. Not quite as legendary but probably just as deadly, the band plough through four tracks of head-caving, stoner-heavy fuzz-rock on this, their first demo.
Distortion is king, doomy heaviness rules - RockMidgets
– More of that filthy sounding treacle-bound super-fuzzed slow moving heavy stoner rock played on inch thick bass strings. a bowel worrying tremor, old school non-more stoner three piece – this is goooooooooooood –

- determinedly lo-fi, doom tinged "fuzz rock".
Combining the rumbling, heavy-by-repetition approach of Om's 'Variations On A Theme' with the bassy grooves of Kyuss' seminal 'Blues For The Red Sun', this is unmistakably music to drink fine whiskey and smoke serious weed to. It's certainly easy enough to imagine the band themselves taking the stage a little worse the wear, shrowded in plumes of smoke that have little to do with any smoke machine present... - NineHertz
-Fuzz...oh, I haven´t heard good Fuzz for a long time now. El Topo are pretty good Fuzzers, BUT they´re not from Scandinavia...no, these guys hail from the UK and you can hear...their Fuzz is a bit different to the Scandinavian Fuzz...these guys added some really nice doomy riffing and psychedelic sounds to their songs and it sounds great. Ok, the voice could be a bit more up front, cause I think they have a pretty good vocalist, I guess so, cause I can´t understand his vocals that good, but as usual....who cares...for me El Topo is a band you put in your CD-playerand turn up to ten.-
