Review
Black
Pistol debut album Sins Of The Father sees a band playing with
extreme confidence and creating an album that takes influence from
the Classic Hard Rock/Heavy Metal scenes of yesteryear. Though,
adding a modern Stoner Rock groove. The album is perfectly balanced
creating a sound that captures the vivid hard rock energy of
Seventies/Eighties Stadium Rock.
Black
Pistol are not afraid adding a heavier style of Hard Rock/Metal on
the album especially on the excellent opening song – Nowhere To Run
– which sets the scene perfectly well for the rest of the album to
follow. The vocals have a “classic” approach to them but still
sounding distinctively modern at the same time. The lyrics are what
you would expect for an album such as this. However, they are quite
truthful and powerful in all the right places.
Second
song – Call To Arms – is a Southern Rock/Boogie Rock driven
number with the band showing another side to their overall sound. The
lyrics are quite direct especially with lead singer Stiaan making a
passionate plea to Hard Rock/Heavy Metal community. This is pure ROCK
& ROLL EXCESS and will have the most jaded Rock/Metal fan rocking
in agreement. There is a slight Stoner Rock swagger being played in
the background and keeps the whole mood vibrant and quite upbeat from
start to finish.
Third
song – Devil In Disguise – is one of the heaviest and perhaps
hard-hitting songs contained on the album and that’s down to the
superb melodies and lyrics the band have written for this song. The
song can be quite psychedelic in places. It seems Black Pistol are
still adding different sounds to their music and it’s quite
refreshing to hear. As you don’t know what Black Pistol will do
next on this album.
Black
Pistol continue on their destructive path by playing addictive Hard
Rock/Heavy Metal riffs that allows the band to create their own
addictive sound. Expect to hear more top-notch moments of Psych Rock,
Classic Rock, Stoner Rock with a no-nonsense Southern Rock/Metal
groove holding everything together.
Black
Pistol prove their worth on songs such as: Down The Hatch, Heaven And
Hell, Sins Of The Father and Preacher. As these songs are perhaps the
standout songs on the album and where the band write and play the
most passionate songs held on the entire album. Though, the entire
album is built upon RIFFS and the album is full of them. The album is
superbly put together and is helped by top-notch production as well.
Sins
Of The Father has something for everyone to fully appreciate and
enjoy.
