REVIEWS of primordial
#1 American Release and #5 Album Worldwide - Doom Charts July 2022.
#5 Hard Rock Album of 2022 - Magnet Magazine
“This shit fucking crushes. Ace riffs. Killer delivery, killer sound, enough variety, knows what it is and how to do what it wants. Band with a plan. They nailed it. Stone on. ” - The Obelisk - Top Albums of 2022
“I have a love for two piece bands, and when they can achieve a limitless sound with the limitations of being a 2 piece I fucking pay attention. The walls couldn’t keep this beast in and someone needed to call the cops, because this record made me feel young and invincible ” - Metalsucks Top Albums of 2022
Featured on Revolvers Artists you need to know
“The riffs are fuckin' mighty, the drumming is cacophonous and the vocals are the perfect blend of haunting and hard-hitting. If you like your stoner-metal with a sativa zest instead of an indica slump, then smoke 'em if you got 'em while you listen via YouTube” - Revolver
“Primordial is one of the most exciting and action packed releases I’ve heard this year. Helped along by fabulous production values that allows Telekinetic Yeti to release another incredible album for the Stoner Metal Underground Scene to get their teeth stuck into. If you’re a fan of Black Sabbath, SLEEP and Mastodon then Telekinetic Yeti have the potential to be your favourite new band.” - Outlaws of the Sun
“Primordial pulses with enormous, mind-blowing riffs that’ll plow right through you” - Patrick Schober/Monster Riff
“When something is this heavy, this good, with just two dudes, praise must be bestowed. Primordial throws fire all over the joint, from Bauman’s riffs, songwriting, and overall tone and sound, to Heim’s killer, rolling and pummeling drumming, and Cope’s production, Primordial sounds massive, all the way around.” - The Sleeping Shaman
“I first experienced Telekinetic Yeti live in Chicago who performed as an opener for True Widow. This is one of my favorite concerts of all time. I was immediately blown away by these two talented musicians and have been awaiting a new album ever since. Primordial does not disappoint. It brings all the energy and enthusiasm of a live show along with brutal riffs, killer guitar solos, and mesmerizing melodies.” - Nine Circles
“I can’t recommend this album highly enough, not only to fans of the genre itself but even to casual fans of early Sabbath there’s going to be plenty to get your teeth into with this creative release, which may well defy a few expectations about a stoner album. 8/10” - Ghost Cult Mag
“Filthy and hard-edged like BONGZILLA, relentlessly groovy at any tempo like BONGRIPPER, and grubbily grandiose like CONAN, these songs don't so much tick all boxes as smash them with a weed-stained sledgehammer. 8/10” - BlabberMouth
“What you hear is what you get with its massive, lumbering, heavy as your emotional baggage mega fuzz processions. They make it dance and crush, and most of all, they make it memorable. Its one of those records your lizard brain won’t let you put down.” - Creem mag

REVIEWS of Abominable
"It has everything you could ever want and I would rate it as a perfect 10. The album is truly remarkable and is sure to go down in history as one of rock’s greatest debuts. These guys are definitely heavyweight contenders to find their place at the top of the scene" -The Sludgelord
"Abominable is easily one of the best stoner/doom albums I’ve ever heard and is sure to place highly on the top 100 albums of the year. This is not one you’re going to want to miss out on. 9.5/10" - Metal At The Gates
"An album that will surely earn its way on many year end lists for 2017." - Metal Injection
"Its nimble, trippy contents have the loose, free feel of a hippy tripping balls, the tireless charge of a rhino on coke, and the light fuzz of an adolescent boy’s upper lip. You’re gonna love it." - Metal Sucks
"Occasionally, a recording reaches out of the speakers and grabs you — shakes you — doesn’t invite but demands that you trip with it along whatever imagined pathways it produces. Abominable, the first full-length release from Dubuque’s Telekinetic Yeti may just be the first such album of 2017." - Little Village Mag
‘Abominable’ by Telekinetic Yeti has the pedigree and potential to become a milestone record. Maybe it will take a little while. Or maybe it will take longer than that, who’s to say. However, it will leave its mark, sooner or later, there is not a shred of doubt in my mind."
-Guitar Ingenuity
"Telekinetic Yeti have put together a ridiculously strong debut album with Abominable and consequently one that gives a shot in the arm to the stoner doom genre. It’s creative, heavy, addictive and energetic — what more can you ask for?" - Nine Circles
"Eight songs tie together forty one minutes of some of the richest and flat-out HUGE sounding songs to come from two guys in my memory!!" - Taste Nation
"Abominable is an outstanding album, performed and produced masterfully. They compose with a unique freedom their songs that, ultimately, prove to be of little gems. Stuff that many bands with a more complete line-up can safely dream of. Although only two, Telekinetic Yeti have the power of a supernova" - Outlaws of the Sun
"Telekinetic Yeti are not run of the mill, and stand out as being something to look out for in 2017 and beyond." - Super Dank Metal Jams
"Abominable is extremely enjoyable and boasts songs that are destined to stick firmly in your thinkbox for many moons to come. Get this!" - Wonderbox Metal
"The first word that comes to my mind to describe Telekinetic Yeti’s debut is surprising. Surprising to find such a massive and heavy sound which will be shaking both the speakers and the walls of your house. Surprising because if you are caught unaware and not knowing that this is a duo, you would think there are more people behind the creation of this music."
-Doombringer
"Two guys, sounding like more, making a hell of a racket with just six strings and some skins, you just got to check it out" - Desert Psychlist
"After hearing Abominable I can only say that I think Telekinetic Yeti is going to destroy a lot of stages with this album. They prove that you can rock as hard with 2 people as some bands do with 9." - Octopus Reviews
"Telekinetic Yeti leaves a great impression with the album “Abominable” through Sump Pump Records showing that two can do the work and the noise of three, four or five. And more than that, perhaps they have left a challenge: who will be the next duo to challenge the titanic hail of bullets of these two guys?" - Stoned Union Doomed
"This album will ensnare anyone who happens to hear its siren call. Get this in your ears now." - Glacially Musical
"If you're a fan of Sleep, OM and CONAN then you're going to go crazy over this band." - Outlaws of the Sun
"Telekinetic Yeti rise above, partly through nous in structure, the smiling tone underpinned by some bellowing riffs and more melancholic doom output that eradicates any predictability, but chiefly through a few great tunes" Ninehertz
