JoopKonraad The album takes you along on the quest through that foreign wasteland becoming atmospheric one moment, oppressive the next and gritty and wild the following.. . And man, I had never known that space could be this hot and steamy!

Ioannis Valiakos I have a new found love for Fire Down Below and I think you should too! The "Hymn of the Cosmic Man" has some glorious tunes in it. Fire Down Below is Belgium's answer to Sasquatch and Lowrider. Give this album a spin today and you will never look back again! Favorite track: The Cosmic Pilgrim.

gebs It's fuzzy, spacey, and groovy, with a distinctive flow from start to finish. Driven by a fat bass and sharp vocals, the 43-minute runtime flies by like a comet. Favorite track: The Cosmic Pilgrim.

about

ALSO AVAILABLE AT ripplemusic.bandcamp.com/album/hymn-of-the-cosmic-man

Fire Down Below's second album

"More expansive than the first one, it still holds all those key elements we loved so much from their first one. That stoner trucking, that speedy delivery of riffs and the slow building pummeling of the drummer. Perhaps the biggest difference is the feel of the entire record, this feels like one gigantic beast, an adventure that needs to be explored on a whole. While their debut felt like a kick ass collection of amazing tracks. Slowly, the album takes you along on the quest through that foreign wasteland becoming atmospheric one moment, oppressive the next and gritty and wild the following. Hymn Of The Cosmic Man has everything you need to get you through the day! The week! The month! The year! One hell of a follow-up!"
