Review
After two exceptional albums, I think it's safe to say that Belgium's Creature with the Atom Brain are one of the best rock bands out there right now. There are times when I m tempted to go ahead and say they re the best. --WJHU radio
Any band that namechecks forgotten 60s psych heroes The 13th Floor Elevators is alright by us. But Creature With The Atom Brain go one better by managing to sound like the first Queens of the Stone Age album; that is, a heady, psychotropic descent into the underworld of drone-this is fantastic. --NME magazine
The accumulation of fuzzy riffs, cosmic synths and f***ed bass lines is a rare breed of dirt-under-the-fingernails Belgian rock that has a distinctive and disheveling quality. Pure, menacing filth. --Terrorizer

Product Description
Creature with the Atom Brain was founded as a one-man home recording project by Belgian Aldo Struyf in between stints touring with Mark Lanegan and his own band, the Millionaires. Now morphed into a full time project, Creature s sophomore album, Transylvania, it is actually their debut North American release. Transylvania finds the band going in a more melodic and reflective direction by while simultaneously maintaining their musical core as defined by references to psychedelia, 70s prog, Hawkwind, 13th Floor Elevators, July and Erkin Koray, as paired with African rhythms; a striking stand-out from most contemporary independent music.
Bringing an additional rock pedigree along with credibility is Chris Goss's mix of Transylvania the man in the producer and engineer s seat for bands like Masters Of Reality, Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age. And while the album credits list additional collaborations with Mark Lanegan and Mr. Chris Goss, Transylvania stands on its own merits as well.

Great Band,

Caught these guys opening for Alice In Chains. CWTAB was great live and also quite good on record. Seem to be heavily influenced by Nirvana or grunge but have their own sorta psychedelic thing going on. Good record and I can't help but like it when bands still put out vinyl.

The title cut is what drew me to this album. The first 5 tracks are the best. Similar to early QOTSA, but less intense.
