°^SISSI-Konzerte präsentiert: Dark Country°^
Dark Country spielen Metal in Gestalt der 70er und 80er Jahre. Zur Einordnung in Schubladen könnte man zahlreiche Bandnamen bemühen. Die Gruppe selbst bringt es wie folgt auf den Punkt: Sabbath on speed. Maiden on weed.
Dark Country are a band from Portland, Oregon that plays a
mixture of metal, punk and classic rock and this is a review
of their self titled and self released 2013 album.
The album starts out with an old school hard rock/heavy metal
sound along with fast riffing and melodic vocals as well as
bringing in the aggression of punk rock and all of the
musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them.
As the album progresses the band starts bringing in a
mixture of slow and fast parts along with guitar solos and
leads along with some parts that stoner rock fans would find
very interesting while not being in that musical genre and in
certain sections of the recording there is a small amount of
psychedelic sounding synths being utilized.
Dark Country bring in a very heavy and retro sound with
their music with the way the mix 70's and early 80's metal
with the energy of punk and the song structures to create an
album that is very old school while still having an identity
of its own all at the same time.
Song lyrics cover dark and everyday themes, while the
production has a very strong, powerful, heavy, old school and
professional sound for being a self released recording where
you can hear all of the musical instruments that are present
on this album.
In my opinion Dark Country are a very great sounding mixture
of metal, punk and classic rock and if you are a fan of
those musical genres, you should check out this band.
RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Harbringer" "Dark Path" and "Lights
Out". 8/5 out of 10.
