The Beginning Of Dark Days (CD)
Soul Thrower returns with 'The Beginning of Dark Nights', it's second adrenaline-boosting, raucous slap in the cortex, and strong follow-up to their EMA-nominated album 'The End Of Your Days'. The Estonian-American rock band paints again in dark hues and the stories are vivid, propped up smartly by a soundscape articulated in chunky, driving riffs and wailing guitar solos that circle like buzzards over prey. On the ground, crisp, powerful drums stomp ahead in lock step with heavy bass guitar. Between Hades and Heaven, but not quite on Terra Firma, grunge vocals permeate with despair and ferocity, acknowledging the depths but forging a sure-footed path up and out. The audience will relish the natural, minimally-compressed sonic landscape which, in this decade, rarely characterizes albums of the heavy rock genre. Over the course of this 10-track release, the discerning ear will pick up influences from Alice in Chains and Black Label Society.
