'Era Vulgaris' translates to the Common Era, but there is nothing common about the latest album from Queens of the Stone Age. Joshua Homme’s band of gypsies return with their fifth full-length release from the seminal desert rockers and they are out for blood with guitars slung low.
'Era Vulgaris' delivers riffs heavier than a slab of Stonehenge and more infectious than The Black Plague, vocals as smooth as molten lava and infused with sex, danger, and the sound of a band possessed to deliver rock music to a new epoch.
Produced with the help of longtime collaborator, and Masters of Reality genius, Chris Goss, QOTSA give birth to eleven tracks that will enter your bloodstream and transform your Dr. Jekyll into a Mr. or Ms. Hyde.
'QOTSA' and 'R' got you hooked, 'Songs for the Deaf' made you scream for more, 'Lullabies to Paralyze' blew your mind and June 2007 marks the dawn of a new, loud era: 'Era Vulgaris'.
