Antwerp's Gnome have been active since 1992, and Father Of Time comes across as a long-running band's take on heavy psychedelic rock. The available tags point to doom's weight, stoner rock's thick repetition, and progressive rock's taste for odd turns, while the track titles bring a playful streak to the package. “Bathed In Cheese”, “Ye Olde Beans” and “Rat King” sit alongside “Mercy Of The Sea” and the title track, so the album isn't presenting itself as solemn all the way through.
Released on 8 June 2018, it has ten tracks and is available as a paid release in MP3 320, FLAC 16/44, ALAC, WAV and AIFF, with CD and 2 x Vinyl LP editions also offered. No label is named in the supplied information. Anyone drawn to Antwerp's doom, prog, psychedelic and stoner rock tags will know the general direction, though the source doesn't give enough detail to claim anything about the guitar tone, drum sound or vocal approach. The oddball titles are probably the best entry point if heavy riffs with a sense of humour appeal to you.
