Scarlatyna – Till The End 2012

NOW!

I do not know what the band’s name means and I had never heard of them till now either, but I’m pretty sure you’ll have a lot to smile while listening to this collection of songs if you consider yourself a fan of underground Power/Heavy/technical Metal. SCARLATYNAwas formed in Germany back in 1987 and released a couple of obscure demos in the early 90s but did not proceed in recording any official album. Now, years later after their original days, the German quartet seems to be back in action and “Till The End” is served as retrospective collection of those demo days and all I can say in brief is that…

The Company Band – Pros & Cons 2012

NOW!

The Company Band’s occasional meetings of friends yields another EP of tunes,Pros & Cons. This band of like-minded jammers includes a who’s who of recent modern rock: vocalist Neil Fallon from Clutch, drummer Jess Margera from CKY, guitarist/vocalist Jim Rota from Fireball Ministry, bassist Brad Davis from Fu Manchu and guitarist Dave Bone.

But the music of Pros & Cons may remind more of late Seventies heavy rock. The groove is steady and efficient, the melodies and hooks carefully crafted. Listening to El Dorado or Loc Nar, it feels like the band set the tempo to a sipping whiskey slow burn. Yet, the opener House of Capricorn offers some sweaty rock, like CCR in a modern context. Kill Screen even has a speedier pace. In the end, every song will grow on you.
