Skull Worship has been generally well received by critics. AllMusic wrote: "the album is a well-crafted exercise in dark psychedelia, recalling the effectively minimal melodies and percussion of the Velvet Underground, the buzzy doomstruck tone of the Jesus and Mary Chain, and the layered guitar tones of My Bloody Valentine, while adding a sinister beauty that's unique to this band." [3] Chicago Tribune wrote that the album is "the sound of the Warlocks finally burning out on the most inward-looking album of the band's career." [5] Less favourable was Q , writing: "Though still intermittently thrilling, even they must be beginning to feel like it's time for a change." [9]
The Warlocks are an American rock band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1998 by guitarist/singer Bobby Hecksher. The band's music has ranged from psychedelic rock to drone music. There have been many changes in personnel since their formation, with Hecksher the only constant member.
