THRONE OF VENGEANCE is a hard rock band that's been playing out of Calgary since 2009. They had an EP and another full length out before they released LiveEvil. LiveEvil has been out for almost a year but it's starteing to get sme more attention recently so I thought I would give it another hit. Their independant DIY attitude and work ethic seems to be paying off with more shows and media coverage. They even have a video playing on the Decibel magazine website. Not a bad deal for an unsigned band.
I like it when bands start off with a good song instead of a really mellow intro or something. In the first few songs you notice that these guys are rock n roll and that's what they want to be. You also notice that everyone in the band is a vocalist. They have a straight forward hard rocking approach to their songs, not to say they're generic at all, it's got variety and originality but still rocks hard. "Impact(From the top of the world)" starts as a pretty decent song but the last two minutes really pull it together. You end it thinking "Fuck, that's a pretty good song. It all ends with the title track and one you can sing along to called "Terminal Velocity" that has a good political bend to it. Also has a good hook and chorus to it too.
For the conclusion I like this album. You can hear the heart and hardwork in this, it has good recording without being too polished. There's a lot of "rock" out there these days that's lost all the dirt and attitude that makes rock n roll great. This has some grit to it, I'm not saying it's the best rock album I've heard but I can think of a tonne of rock albums that it's a lot better than. So before you go to a big store looking for something give these guys a try...probably be a lot cheaper.
