Review
Set
In Stone is the debut album from German Hard Rock/Stoner Rockers
Redscale and it's a heavy and accomplished record from the band. The
album has elements of Hard Rock, Classic Rock and Stoner Rock all
delivered with a turbo charged energy. The vocals have a classic
heavy metal feel as the vocals immerse themselves superbly well with
the heavy stoner rock grooves.
The
songs on the album follow a simple template of HEAVY RIFFS, LOUD
VOCALS and CATCHY CHORUSES. Yeah it's a boring formula but it works
so surprisingly well for Redscale as songs such as Olympus, False
Light, The Collapse and Hypnos have a vintage Stoner Rock quality
with elements of Psychedelia appearing here and there. The lyrics
maybe inspired by the 80s Heavy Metal scene but at least Redscale are
keeping the whole music within the Stoner Rock environment.
Set
In Stone may not have the most original of sounds but what the album
does have is PASSION and fantastic musicians who prove they can play
with many fine riffs with enough power to satisfy even the most jaded
of Hard Rock/Stoner Rock fan.
If
you're in the mood for an album with a deep love for all things 1980s
Hard Rock and Heavy Metal but with a modern Stoner Rock twist then
look no further as Redscale are the band for you. Set In Stone is a
superbly entertaining album and proves that Redscale have a bright
future ahead of them.
Excellent
and Highly Recommended.
