This is flawless. There's not one dull moment from start to finish. I've played both albums pretty obsessively over the past few months. The title track of this is a blast of Doom, but Malmuerta introduces Middle Eastern elements that are just fucking SPELLBINDING! Wow. Love love love this band.
Favorite track: Queen Cobra.

For me, there is a song that stands out above all in an outstanding way and is Malamuerta... With that starting prog that is growing with the incredible voice of Liz, full of wonderful nuances and that offering to the traditional Andalusian folklore ... Delicious

"Un trabajo con el que deleitarse cuando el sol se ha puesto y la noche invade tu más secreto interior". Diablorock.com
"Su segunda obra es más directa, más carnicera, pero a su vez, mucho más oscura y perturbadora. Grajo y su nuevo disco "Slowgod II" se postulan como uno de los referentes nacionales más cruentos a tener en cuenta en los próximos años". La Habitación 235
"Grajo have been slowly chipping away at that glass ceiling looming over them for a few years now, trying to reach a wider audience and break their music onto a more international market, "Slowgod II" just might be the album to do that.." Desert Psychlist
"Más allá del Doom existe un reino donde las arenas del tiempo se desdibujan, se difuminan los contornos y sólo existe la Magia, entendida ésta como el más elevado acto creativo. Es en ese reino donde habitan Grajo, que con Slowgod II han parido uno de los trabajos más bellos y cautivadores que un servidor haya escuchado en muchísimo tiempo. Una banda a la que no se le vislumbran límites". Cosmic Tentacles
"Slowgod II is a thrilling and exciting album that proves without a doubt that Grajo are one of the scenes best kept secrets. Though I expect bigger and better things will be coming to Grajo real soon.
Excellent and Highly Recommended." Outlaws of the Sun
"For a few moments there I thought I’d hit play on a new Conan album… . Then those stellar Grajo vocals scythe through the low, low riffage. Slowgod II is the bands much anticipated second outing and it has been worth the wait. Grajo deliver the gravity from a variety of angles: prehistoric slow and low (Altares, ER) , more upbeat paced stoner riffs that bristle with hooks and maintain the weight (Queen Cobra, Horror and Pleasure), and exotic heavy mesmerisation (Melmuerta, Malstr0m). The debut album was no slouch whatsoever (check out the incredible ‘I am the Sea’), but the songs overall have more density and impact. An excellent outing from Grajo, don’t sleep on this one!" Clint (Hand of Doom Radio)

Extremely atmospheric and quite varied, but not as polished as their later work. Still stands well on its own though. At first I was weirded out by the short instrumental tracks, but now I *really* dig them. dan-rod

What a beautiful, haunting experience all around, always melts me from start to finish. Incredible and deep sound, amazing atmosphere and cohesion, unexpected jazz elements unlike anything I've heard, and don't get me started on the vocals. Really hard to choose a favorite track. dan-rod
A hard rock epic for the ages from the Richmond outfit, anchored in prog-inflected riffs, occult themes, strong vocal performances. Bandcamp New & Notable May 12, 2021

Utterly hypnotic, heavy, and ethereal beyond what I can aptly describe here. It'll take you careening down a kaleidoscopic wormhole of audial bliss. cynothoglys
