Yup, I get it: the album’s cover artwork may remind you of
something from the glorious MONSTER MAGNET era, but the new Blood of
the Sun album has nothing to do with stoner rock. Enough is enough
and I can’t bear witnessing every 70s influenced hard rock band
being called stoner rock. Get it guys, stoner rock is a bad joke…
this is great, melodic and groovy, heavy rock with touches of boogie
and blues, lots of freaked out, almost psychedelic guitar work, and
crazy good old school Hammond organ.
While other bands try to replicate the sound of the 1970's (with
varying degrees of success), Blood of the Sun distills out the
essence of the heaviest 1970's rock and transfers it to the present
day. This is complemented by great enthusiasm, great muscianship and,
best of all, a lot of great songs. This album is chock full of
hard-driving guitar riffs, powerful vocals, excellent bass and drums
and phenomenal keyboard wizardry. Moreover, here we have 8 catchy
tunes that are guaranteed to stay with the listener for a long time.
The opening track "Let It Roll" gets things started quickly as great song reminiscent of Blue Oyster Cult. The album-titled track continues the groove with a catchy hard rock, bluesy guitar riff with wailing vocals that only strengthen as the album continues. Truly nothing disappoints throughout Burning On The Wings of Desire.
