Review:
Well, I'm not used at all with such sounds to tell you the truth, a totally acoustic type of Rock / Metal sung by two guitarists and a singer, trio that released the first album in 2013 and is now following up with the second opus made of 9 tracks, with one of them being a cover version of Rod Stewart's Young Turks. To me it sounds like a combination of Ugly Kid Joe, Bon Jovi, and the likes, basically American Hard'n'Heavy on acoustic guitars, very interesting and out of the ordinary for sure, but being used to the heaviest of Metals I have to admit I miss the guitar riffs after all. The vocals are very good reaching a wide range of tonalities but all within the genre, obviously, and the guitars layer is also impressive on how it keeps the impression you're listening to a Metal record even without those riffs. Unfortunately the band has decided to call it quits or at least take an indefinite pause, so this might as well be their last studio effort. An interesting band you should at least hear once.
