Review
The
Fate Of Elision is the new EP from Hard Rock/Stoner Rockers Quiet The
Thief who have came back after a two year absence since their last
release which I reviewed here.
This
EP is a classic sounding EP that embraces it Hard Rock roots with the
ferocious Blues Rock drive of CLUTCH in places. The overall flow of
the EP is very smooth as the band play a blend of fast-paced grooves.
The first two opening songs – Star Crossed Lover and Open Road –
are perhaps the best two songs on the EP. As Quiet The Thief put so
much hard-rocking energy into these tracks that it’s quite hard not
to be swept up by the magic momentum the band create here.
The
other songs are good as well just not as strong as these two songs.
Though I did like the fast-paced riffs of Speed Freak as well.
The
Fate of Elision can be quite trippy and psychedelic in places but
it’s the classic hard rock sounds where Quiet The Thief excel the
most. The production is handled superbly well and the band know how
to write a LOUD MEAN RIFF.
Quiet
The Thief are starting to make a name for themselves within the UK
Hard Rock/Stoner Rock scene and the evidence is here for everyone to
listen to and fully admire. The band know how to have fun with their
music and they excel at playing good old fashioned Rock and Roll. You
don’t have to include Progressive Rock sounds in your music all the
time and it’s good to hear Quiet The Thief playing a classic style
of Hard Rock/Metal to the best of their abilities and leave you
wanting more.
Overall,
The Fate Of Elision is great EP to listen to and it should be good to
see where Quiet The Thief’s musical journey will take them next….
