Review:
Another
week passes and perhaps the finest Hard Rock/Classic Rock/Stoner Rock
label releases another top-notch album. Ripple have been on fire
lately releasing so many great albums recently. Especially with the
latest Gozu album. Now it's time for Foghound to release their new
album on Ripple.
The
World Unseen is a the perfect combination of Classic Rock, Doom
Metal, Stoner Metal and good old fashioned Hard Rock. The album opens
up with the heavy anthemic rhythms of Above The Wake and it's a song
that sets the mood for the next 42 minutes or so. Hazy guitars and
confident vocals with Foghound creating a damn fine powerful album.
Shades of 70s classic hard rock spliced with a meaner modern day
based Doom/Stoner metal sound.
Foghound
are a band perfectly at ease playing top-notch classic rock but they
also thrive on playing the heavier style of rock/metal that appear
later on the album. Foghound are a very hard band to define as they
play a vast array of different styles but that's a good thing as most
of the songs have a different vibe to each other. Sure I could
provide a song by song review as I normally do but not this time.
This album in essence is a true hard rock album. It's an album you
will be rocking out to for a long time to come. It's what music is
all about. Losing yourself in the moment and Foghound create many
heavy moments for you to admire. My favourite part of the album is
when the band embrace their Doom/Stoner Rock roots as they create
some of the albums heaviest and exciting moments.
You
can see why people are starting to go crazy over this album. Songs
such as Serpentine, Give Up The Ghost and Street Machine are perfect
examples of why Ripple Music signed Foghound to their roster. Each
song contains a classic vintage sound while creating a modern based
sound.
The
World Unseen is a HUGE album in every sense of the word and it's an
album you cannot do without. With the album being released by Ripple
Music, you know it's going to be good as these guys always deliver
the goods. A thrilling and exciting album from start to finish. Do
yourself a favour and get this album now. You won't be sorry.
