ROLL YOUR WAY TO FREEDOM WITH THIS BABY BLARING ON THE STEREO -- ONLY ON MAN'S RUIN.
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on the now out-of-print "Sun Creature" CD/EP by American stoner rock band NEBULA. The band's second EP was released under the legendary Man's Ruin Records in March 1999 and contains a nine-minute-long bonus track entitled "Fly On" exclusive to the Man's Ruin CD pressing. Sleeve art/package design by Frank Kozik (1962-2023).
OVERVIEW: "After leaving FU MANCHU, guitarist Eddie Glass and drummer Rubin Romano formed a new band, NEBULA, and continued to record for Man's Ruin. Those who heard Fu Manchu's "Eatin' Dust" will find "Sun Creature" to be quite similar. Like FU MANCHU, NEBULA is greatly influenced by the classic heavy metal and hard rock of the early '70s and favors a stripped down and garage-like sound.
You won't find any more pop gloss on this four-song EP than you found on "Eatin' Dust" -- NEBULA is fueled by raw energy on the slow burners "Fly On" (which is heard as a bonus track on the EP's CD version), "Sun Creature," "Smokin' Woman" and "Rollin' My Way to Freedom."
PART III/END: Though the similarities between NEBULA and FU MANCHU are impossible to miss, this band is more apt to get into jamming and long solos. "Sun Creature" isn't mind-blowing, but it has enough raw energy and enthusiasm to make it enjoyable."
