New week, time to introduce "Record Of The Week"
VALLEY OF THE SUN is a four-piece desert-rock band out of Cincinnati, Ohio, formed in 2010, "Old Gods" is their third release and catches our ears today. VALLEY OF THE SUN has frequently been here on Tune Of The Day, a rock band that I do really like, it's like a medium rare steak, taste good and sounds excellent.
"Old Gods" offers a broad pallet of righteous riffs and heavy sound mixed with sensitive and soulful tones. Already from the first opening title track, the sensitive and layback guitar play, where the fingers almost caress the strings before the drums roll in, the heavy guitar and the almost grungy vocals give the tune a bit of energy. "All We Are" is another grunge piece, great guitar sling, hefty drumming, and a catchy chorus. Acoustic guitar opens up the lovely mellow instrumental piece "Gaia Creates". Righteous riff kicks on the energic and catchy tune "Dim Visions". Then it's time for a little break on the album with an instrumental ritualistic drum tune "Shiva Destroys" that follows up with furious force in the short flash of "Fire Walker". "Into The Abyss" is a slower, light psychedelic piece that flows like an eagle over the desert. "Faith Is For Suckers" follows the grunge template. "Buddha Transcends" is another short break on the album, atmospheric guitars that you can lose your mind awhile before the guitars speed up a bit in the heavy and catchy piece "Means The Same". The album closes up with "Dreams Of Sand", soft start that burst up for a short while, great riffing, fat bassline along with excellent and superb vocals. The only bad thing is the fade out in the end. The production is great along with all the distorted sounds and I will enjoy this for a great amount of time. Well done lads.
Sum: "Old Gods" is an exciting release.
