Oh what a difference a tiny thing like a decade might make. Ten years ago, when Truckfighters released what until this April is still their most recent studio LP, V (review here), I think the Örebro fuzz titans were somewhat taken for granted. Ho hum, here’s another Truckfighters record that both maintains their foundation in forward-driving desert-style riffs while broadening their sound in new and progressive directions.

They had label trouble, and/or management trouble, and they were in a tough position at that point, as I recall. Some of that record — “The Chairman,” etc. — dealt with that. But Truckfighters have been remarkably not-absent despite the dearth of studio material since V. They’ve toured steadily all the while and cemented a reputation among Europe’s most reliably kickass heavy rock bands, and having had the pleasure of seeing them last Spring at Desertfest Oslo (review here), I’m not at all surprised they’re making the rounds again this Spring through fests and more, including the flagship London and Berlin Desertfests, Sound of Liberation‘s Sonic Rides, Mystic Festival in Poland and others over the next few months. Note Hellfest in June as well. Size-wise, that might be the biggest here.

Masterflow is set to arrive April 10, which makes it about one week before the rest of everyone who thinks they’re clever releasing on the Friday closest to 4/20 puts out their records. At the risk of sounding like a nerd, I’ll say that among all the heavy albums to come in the next few months, this is one I’m most curious to hear, both for what might be familiar and what might not.
