Heavy Kingdom is the first collaborative album from WINO & CONNY OCHS, a beautiful album which captures the the folk-inspired acoustic rock magic that takes place when these two seasoned musicians coalesce their talents. The legacy of SCOTT “WINO” WEINRICH (The Obsessed, Saint Vitus, The Hidden Hand, Shrinebuilder, etc.) in the world of heavy music is indisputable and ever evolving, and here he teams up with CONNY OCHS, a songwriter so pure and honest in his output that he seems to be the perfect partner for the straightforward WEINRICH. Together the two wrote, performed and recorded an incredible set of soulful tunes that speak for themselves, as well as a Townes Van Zandt cover. The artwork contains drawings by both WEINRICH and OCHS, and follows the dedicated and deeply personal approach of the whole album. This is the European CD version in a handmade, silkscreened, 12-panel ‘cruciform’ EOMPac with text book. [Exile On Mainstream]
