2014, UNIVERSE supercharges the riff-heavy roots of Truckfighters' signature sound while charting a more progressive, challenging path - a hybrid of fuzz and prog - with an increased focus on textures and dense arrangements loaded with engaging melodies and outstanding musicianship. These advancements don't come at the expense of the catchy and heavier aspects of the group's sound, rather it shoots Truckfighters psychedelically-tinged rock into rich and rewarding new dimensions. From the sonic high arc of the opening cut ,,Mind Control" to the fuzzy riffs, vocal hooks and proggy passages of the leviathan-like ,,The Chairman" to the monstrous groove of ,,Convention" and through to the album-closing, tongue-in-cheek nod to buddies Mastodon (,,Mastodont"), Truckfighters' UNIVERSE is a definitive mission statement and an accurate portrait of a band that has molded its veracious desert session anthems into chiseled hard rock monoliths.
