This review is from: Sons of Yesterday's Black... (Audio CD)

This CD ROCKS. With the excellent voice of Joanitor (Xysma), bass playing of Oppu (ex Amorphis) this is some seriously good doom metal. The rest of the band (Junior on drums and Iie on guitar) also rock. The selling point for me though, was having ex members of my 2 all time favourite bands, Xysma and Amorphis. The best bands EVER to come from Finland.

This is good stuff. Imagine Elvis singing Black Sabbath songs, and you sort of get the idea. It's so much more then that though. Just like Xysma, this band GROOVES, yet it still heavy.

I've had this CD since before it came out (I have a friend at Spinefarm (Kalle) whom sent me the demo, but it's the same as the full version, just pre release). I can't believe how much I still like it.
As far as the music goes, I like all of the tracks, even the KISS cover, 100,000 years. Other then that, it's all original, and again rocks. If you're into Xysma, Amorphis, or any of the other bands from Finland/Scandinavia stoner/doom bands, give it a listen. You an hear clips at their website [URL] then come back here and buy it. I think it's really that good.
