Os Olde Crone já não o são. Pouco depois do lançamento deste seu álbum de estreia cessaram funções, o que não deixa de ser estranho visto que as sete músicas que perfazem este "Olde Crone" são boas, revestidas de Stoner/Doom Metal sem grandes floreados, inspirados numa cartilha que nos remete para o enorme legado "sabbathiano", para uns Pentagram e também Electric Wizard - quando lhes dá para o lado psicadélico -, ou Pombagira, por exemplo.
Assim, sem estarmos perante o disco que irá revolucionar as nossas vidas, mas tão somente um bom trabalho que nos irá fazer passar um bom bocado enquanto o ouvimos, à medida que uma boa mão cheia de cervejas desaparece goela abaixo, podemos dizer que este quarteto britânico soube construir temas longos, sóbrios (ou ébrios, conforme os gostos), com algum músculo, com alguns riffs engraçados, mas onde existiu sempre espaço para algum devaneio, com uma piscadela de olho ao Southern Rock, improviso, fugindo aos pergaminhos que ditam a estruturas das canções; eles fizeram um bocado o que lhes deu na real gana, foi o que foi! E isso será sempre de valorizar. "Blue Iris" ou "Olde Crone (Chapter 2)" são reflexo disso mesmo, principalmente no segundo exemplo, onde a par de riffs que tresandam stoner por todos os poros convivem harmoniosamente com passagens acústicas, com um leve travo a Oriente, deixando-nos a pensar sobre as misturas que ainda faltam fazer na música, no Metal mais especificamente. Não, não é que aqui haja algum tipo de novidade! O discorrer do álbum proporciona isso mesmo, essa leve introspecção, por entre os ritmos cadenciados e a tender para o lento e as guitarras duras nos seus main riffs e, igualmente, languidas nas fases mais experimentais.
É pena que, por ora, não tenhamos mais novidades desta banda, porque esta viagem teve piada e gostaríamos de repetir a dose... com novos temas.
Entretanto, abre-se mais uma cerveja (repeat mode on). (14/20)

The Olde Crone already are not. Shortly after the release of their debut album had ceased to function, which does not cease to be odd since the seven songs on this "Olde Crone" being good, coated with Stoner/Doom Metal without major frills, inspired by a booklet that brings us to the enormous sabbathian legacy, and also for some Pentagram and Electric Wizard - when they give to the psychedelic side -, or Pombagira, for example.
Thus, if we were to the disk that will revolutionize our lives, but only a good work we do will have a good time while we hear, as a handful of good beer disappears below the throat, we can say that this british quartet able to build long themes, sober (or drunk, according to taste), with some muscle, with some funny riffs, but where there is always room for a daydream, with a wink to Southern Rock and improvisation, fleeing to the scrolls that dictate the structure of the songs, they did a bit which gave them the “real Ghana” (portuguese expression), was what it was! And it will always be of value. "Blue Iris" or "Olde Crone (Chapter 2)" are a reflection of this, especially in the second example, where the pair of loops that stink from every pore stoner live harmoniously with acoustic passages, with a slight bitterness in the East (!) , leaving us to think about the mixes that have yet to make music, or more specifically in the metal. No, it is here that there is some kind of novelty! The course of the album provides just that, this mild introspection, amid cadenced rhythms and tends to slow and the hard guitar riffs in their main and also faint in most experimental phases.
It is unfortunate that, for now, we have no more news of this band, because this trip was funny and would like to repeat it ... with new themes.
However, it opens another beer (repeat mode on). (14/20)
