Sons of a Lie
April 8th, 2022
On Bandcamp there is a 2018 EP before this 2022 full-length (eight songs in 36 minutes). Metal Archives shows that the band is Jaime "Jimi" Susanna on drums, Jonjo Negrete on guitars, Sara Carretero on bass, and Selene Perdiguero on vocals. This melodic, uptempo heavy metal from Madrid, Spain may be a very good discovery for listeners looking for some catchy, rocking songwriting. Direct, uptempo and with good singing, the songs don’t need much to be remembered because they are written to hit the ground running with galloping rhythms, some shredding and plenty of rocking, melodic soloing. The band itself names Judas Priest, Dokken, Dio and Warlock as reference points. Their Dio-Dokken assessment is right on. The music is bass, drums, guitar and vocals. Therefore, it is easy to hear everything, including the guitar work and the good singing. One advantage for the band is that the songs remain uptempo and efficient. Here and there, there are some slower segments, but they are brief, and do not bog down the songs. The last song is more of a power ballad, but not a cheesy love song. Unfortunately, this drum sampling/programming sounds artificial and soft. Anyway, this is music for audiences looking for melodic songs with wide appeal, from the grandparents to the children, including as gateway metal for children. The lyrics are available on Bandcamp. I have not found the lyrical stupidity (cursing, horror, glorification of violence and other low-IQ buffoonery) that might make this inappropriate for kids and general audiences. In that respect, credit to the band for not shooting themselves in the foot.
