This track straight away pulls you in with its epic riff that has a natural grove to it, the overall structure of the song is nicely structured and it reminded me a little bit of korn meets spiritbox and architects.

The production is crisp and clean, some very powerful guitars which as I have already said have such a grove to them it really brings this all together

Big thumbs up from Setting The Tone

 

 

 

Next up we have one of my favourite bands around right now, they have been busy out on the road playing to sell-out crowds

The Hara and their new single Die in The City

 

This one is an absolute banger, a great vocal display from Josh, there is some great energy brought to the table from Zack and Josh, Die In the city is about chaos and embracing it and letting it have its moments, die in the city is packed with classic Hara riffs and lyrical hooks, yet again showing this bands diversity within their catalogue go and check this out

Another track that comes out the gate, no messing here a nice heavy riff into some great vocals, with a few hooks to start with, some impressive guitar tones on this, a nice melodic chorus keeping as well as keeping the energy levels nice and high.

A nice heavy track with a perfect blend of melody and aggression.

Stunning single from a band no doubt many will be keeping their eyes on

Leaves openings with a really impressive Riff a riff with grove, the guitar work on this track is stunning and offers melody and the riffs are a plenty vocal being honest not for me, the vocal style is bit like cradle of filth, overall, the track is nice and heavy some awesome melodic tones.

 

Next up this week Zebrahead out of time

Zebrahead are back this week and are showcasing another track from their upcoming ep

 

Out of time, which is a hook power house of a track, vocally its really impressive a great display, the guitar work is very impressive as there is a real drive behind the guitars, production is great its crisp its clean and there is so much energy and bounce to this absolutely in love with this ep

 

without doubt this Ep is going to be amazing make sure you are adding this your playlist.

Dogtown reminds me so much of a rock track from the 70’s perhaps this is because the obvious is it should be a track from the 70’s the riffs are epic some real funk and drive behind them, I absolutely lover the guitar work on display from the scales to the solos and the cool tones on display we could be here for 20 mins talking about that along, vocals are nice would like to hear perhaps a bit more power in the vocals, not trying to be rude or knock WinterBurn but that would be the one area I would look to see a changed.

Overall, a great track

Thank you SaN PR

Jeeze how good is this new Mastodon album.

 

I have enjoyed Mastodon for a number of years, Hushed & Grim.

 

Has to be their most complete album to date. it’s amazing and so strong.

 

a powerful and classic album, Loved every second of it.

 

What I would say is don’t stop this album half way through its an album you start and finish in one listening as this keeps the momentum

9/10 from Setting The Tone
