"Made for Hell", their third full-lenght album was their first and quite determined step into this heavier direction. Those specific kinds of old school hard rock and heavy metal elements embedded into groovy themes, that are essentially coming from stoner and southern rock, did remain as their music's main feature, but this was something different. Something that broke through the ordinary borders by intensity and heaviness. It includes the very familiar feeling that comes from most related styled music, but in this form all that sounds more aggressive, more energic, and more rebellious than how it was used to be in the '90s. The main concept is also one step further into an exaggerated direction, that doesn't seem to care much about written or unwritten rules if it comes to this style. The album has a wilder, groovy sludge sounding aspect, such as a more traditional southern rock/stoner side, and it also reaches doom influenced depths. This made the album also more diverse than usual, but without taking any consolidatingly and boringly badass southern bad boys switch that seems difficult to avoid for most, and always gets committed to serve mainstream tendencies. The badass effect they've reached by sounding dirtier, heavier and wilder than usual, and that could totally wipe the floor with the current tendencies and the currently popular bands of the genre.
