4.0 out of 5 stars Return of the ROCK, December 20, 2005

If the processed garbage you've been force-fed by corporate radio hasn't totally killed your desire to ROCK, then it's time you tried Brand New Sin.

Creed is not ROCK. Coldplay is not ROCK. ROCK is loud, heavy, tattooed, fist-pumping and alcohol-fueled. Brothers and sisters, Brand New Sin is ROCK! Brand New Sin is the band you expect to find at your favorite bar, belting out heavy as hell songs that would make Motorhead and Black Label Society proud.

Forget about radio. Forget about trends. Spread the word - ROCK is back, and bands like Brand New Sin and Fireball Ministry are leading the charge. If you miss real hard rock music, check out Brand New Sin.

You won't here anything new on the debut from Brand New Sin, but this is good stuff. The band mixes a number of styles, for a varied sound. One part thrash, one part style southern metal, one part rock and role and a good chunk of old fashioned metal. Good gravelly vocals that are reminicent of Pepper Keenan, Phil Anselmo and a little John Bush. The songs are melodic, but have good driving guitars. After a brief intro, the CD starts off with the strong "Broken Soul". Catchy chorus and good, driving guitars, this song sets the pace. "My World", "Sad Times" and "Missin You" slow it down, the second song with a definate bluesy/southern sound and "Missin You" could have come off of a Pride and Glory albumn. The rest of the CD is up tempo and there isn't a bad cut on the disc. Fans of COC and Black Label Society will like this.

3.0 out of 5 stars A solid start., May 8, 2004

Very interesting music, I am hopeful for a second release from these guys. All in all a very solid release which mixes elements of southern blues rock with the modern day nu-metal "wall of sound." Don't get me wrong, this is NOT nu-metal, but some of the simplistic chord structures are the same. The slower songs are reminescent of Allman Brothers, and the harder straight ahead rockers sound, vocally, like the angry delivery of Godsmack. A few of the syncopated rhythm rockers sound a bit like mid 90's COC. The nice addition, absent in much "modern music," is a little fretboard soloing activity, which you NEVER see in any new metal song. Ask a new metal guitarist to play a progressing lead pattern diatonic solo in the key of E minor and he'd go, "what?" The leads are solid, but not overwhelming, and are a very nice addition. The first half of the album is the best, and though there really is no filler here, the race to the end is a bit downhill. Unless these guys intend to blaze like old Molly Hatchett used to, I don't think they need three guitarists! Good stuff! More!
