Audio Porn – Midnight Confessions 2014

Possibly everything you need to know about Audio Porn is found in their name. Founded by vocalist Azriel St. Michael, Audio Porn lives in the past, the past of Eighties melodic hard rock of the sleaze variety. Mostly, the band, music, and their second album, Midnight Confessions, is a vehicle for his amoral to immoral world view and general kinky sexual proclivities. Call it smut rock in it’s rawest form.

Audio Porn: Azriel St. Michael .

Which for the most part doesn’t all that interest me. Been there, done that. Don’t we all know that most rock n roll is delivered from below the belt? Yet to consider Audio Porn in it’s genre context, you’ll find that they handle it quite adequately. This album is heavier than the previous, mostly coming from Jeff Westlake’s (Hydrogyn) thick-handed wrestler riffs. More to the point, you might consider this a guitar-centered album as his leads are quite varied and spicy throughout.
