Night - Raft Of The
World
Oskar – Vocals/ Guitar, Sammy – Guitar. Joseph – Bass –
Dennis – Battery
Fire Across The Sun has a riff that slowly builds this
reminds me of progressive rock/ Demon at its finest with some amazing heartfelt
guitar work and an excellent rhythm.
Surrender has a foot tapping beat and some great bass along with excellent
vocals. Under The Gallows has a nwobhm
feel to it. It has a feel good riff and
is an excellent sing along song. Omberg is an acoustic into the song Time. This has an Asia
feel to it without the keyboards. This
takes you back to the great progressive hard rock of the 70’s with some awesome
guitar leads. Strike of Lightning has a great guitar intro that will have you
closing your eyes and just jamming. This
along with some excellent drumming and excellent tempo changes has you tappin
your foot the entire song. Winds has
sort of a Uriah Heep feel to mixed with maybe Demon. This like every song has some awesome twin
lead and harmony guitars. This song will
have you playing air guitar and not caring what people think. Coin In A Fountain, just imagine Pink Floyd
and Uriah Heep mixed and that’s what you have. Where Silence Awaits is another Demon style of
song. Great riffs and excellent
musicianship show what this band is all about. A great way to end the album.
Old James – Speaks
Volumes
Brian Stephenson – Vocals/ Bass, Chris Stephenson – Drums,
Sir Andy T Cat Thompson – Guitar
Don’t Put It On Me grabs you from the start with the
singer’s high scream then a very bluesy Zeppelin/ Hendrix style song kicks in
great way to start the album. Lemons has
more of a Sabbath meets Grand Funk style mixed with maybe a little
Beatles. So Real has excellent rhythms
and a very bluesy feel that reminds me of Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Word as weapons starts with a very Jimi
Hendrix guitar sound mixed with some Cream. Salutations, drumming starts off
the song along with some vocals then an awesome riff kicks in I hear some
Living Colour influence in this song.
Bass Ik Instincts is a bass interlude with drums into Kill Off The Rose.
This Sabbath meets Texas blues hard rock has you closing your
eyes and just going with the flow of the song. Eugene
has lots of fuzz on the guitars and a solid beat another blues hard rock style
that is amazing. Speak Volumes has a
Cream meets Joe Satraini style with some Hendrix mixed in. Master Imploder is Cream meets southern rock
meets blues an awesome song.
Old Man Wizard –
Innocent Hands
Francis Roberts – Vocals/ Guitar, Kris Calabio – Drums, Andy
Beller – Bass
Innocent Hands has a very old Pink Floyd meets blast beats a
strange style with some great leads and almost funky bass. Blind
Prince is more progressive rock with some strange sounds and influences.
