Review


Running Out Of Time is the latest single from Stoner Rockers Black Sunrise which has a heavy Grunge attitude with the band merging from classic soundscapes played out by the likes of SOUNDGARDEN and ALICE IN CHAINS. Black Sunrise adds a level of Black Sabbath and KYUSS style of Stoner Heaviness along the way which goes into Sludge Rock surroundings. 


With a massive sideline of frenzied Classic Hard Rock guitars that is buried within 1980’s Heavy Rock excess which allows Black Sunrise to be quite “RETRO” and thoroughly modern at the same time. The last stage of the track is where the “REAL MAGIC” happens when a killer Psych/Fuzz Metal sound comes out of nowhere to lead the song into a highly destructive wall of LOUD SLUDGY GUITARS and great vocals to match.


I don’t know if this song is leading up to an EP or full length record though Black Sunrise have already released a superb song Bar Fight already in July 2025 but this is the one that impressed me the most and I most definitely want to hear more. The song may only last under four minutes but this promises a lot of great things that are no doubt coming our way from Black Sunrise if they keep releasing great tracks such as this.


Words by Steve Howe
