DevilSkin “Surfacing” EP 

Ron

Published

on

It’s been 4 years since Devilskin’s last album, “Red.” The New Zealand band has followed up with their new EP, “Surfacing.” 

This 6-song EP starts off with “Whale Song,” which just rocks and puts you right in the mood for what Devilskin is going to bring. I love Jennie Skulander’s voice; it works perfectly with the tone and grittiness of the album. 

The EP has two covers on it. “Barracuda,” which we reviewed before and is a great cover song. The band also takes a swing at Dio’s “Holy Diver.” I am pretty critical about anyone covering Dio. Most bands try too hard to sound like Ronnie, which doesn’t always work out. However, I like this cover because the band takes their own path when covering it and makes it their own. 

“Let Me Breathe,” “Insects,” and “Unborn” round up the rest of the EP. Which makes the EP a great listen from beginning to end. There has been a great resurgence of bands coming from New Zealand that kick ass. DevilSkin is on top of that list of bands. I hope that they make it over to the US soon so we can get a chance to check them out live. If you’re into a great rock EP and want to listen to something new and fresh, I recommend checking out this EP.

Them Damn Kings “Shown With A Fist”

Them Damn Kings from NJ just released a new single “Shown With a Fist”.
If you like your music in your face with a touch of old school rock and roll this is the band for you. It’s got gritty vocals and pounding drums adding in some killer guitar shreds.
It’s a song that you listen to when you want to get into a bar fight or want to drive your car really fast down the highway.
It’s worth a listen, check out the lyric video below with a little bonus guitar mortal kombat shred off.

100 Watt Vipers “Wired For Power”

Garage Rock/Blues band 100 Watt Vipers make their comeback after a a few hiatus with the new EP “Wired For Power”. 

If you’re into blues rock, with a little splash of bands like BuckCherry and AC/DC, Then you should check out this album. It has is slow blues flair to it with those blues guitar licks and that soulful vocals. 

The 7 song EP. Has tracks like “Live Free”, “Hell Hounds”, and “Wired for Power”. I myself have never been a huge Blues music guy with the exception of a few musicians. I feel that most of the songs on this EP are very repetitive. For someone who’s not that in tune to the style would say that every song pretty much sounds the same. That necessarily a bad thing but fans out side of the genre might fun it a little bland and boring. 

I do love the sound of Roberts voice on the tracks but still do feel that repetitive vibe throughout the album. It’s only my opinion and feel that you should check out the band and form yours.

Ashes to Omens “Feed Me More” 

Ron

Published

Ashes To Omens are a band from Georgia who’s latest single “Feed Me More” has a great sound to it. It reminds me of bands around the mid to late 2000s. They have a good mixture of sound. The song is a perfect blend of hard rock and metal with the vocals very crisp and delivered with passion. 

The song “Feed Me More” has a great melody and works well with the bands style and genre of music. It also is a great title to a song because after listening to it I wanted more of the band. 

Some will say that it’s very radio rock/metal and sometimes I do have issues with that but I felt that this song even though it does have that feel to it, isn’t just a radio rock song for the sake of being a radio rock song. I think this single is worth a listen to and could possibly be a track that might make your playlist.
