Dawnbringer - Into The Lair Of The Sun God

Recommended Posts

Not a band I've really been drawn to in the past, but the new album has some nice reviews, so I listened to a few tracks. I won't be rushing into buying the CD after previous, rash purchases, but this sounds like really good Heavy Metal. Good tunes, some great guitar solos, what's not to like? Well, the vocals might be a bit of an acquired taste, slightly gravelly (reminding me a tiny bit of Wild Dogs - Reign of Terror at times).

 

Couple of example tracks, but the standard seems pretty consistent throughout:

You approve? :lol:

 

Honestly, this sounds like one of the best albums of the year so far. Just really really good songs. I will re-evaluate beforre taking the plunge though...

Nah ... I can't listen to Bruce's screeching any more, it's like fingernails on a blackboard. The songs on this one sound awesome. Really really good!

Fair enough, but do me a favour and if you get time, give this another try. There are some really good songs here, maybe not completely immediate, but good all the same and some excellent guitar solos. Honest. :)

Sorry mate - good solo but up til that it sounded like 2nd rate Edguy to me :-(

 

& a really lazy chorus full of ohhhs.

 

I'll pass again

 

Think I'm with Glen on that one ... fast doesn't mean good and I also find the drumming on the track massively irritating. Solo is pretty sweet though.

No, you won't ... you'll do what you always do and buy the CD before re-evaluating :) This one is definitely a 'guilty pleasure' for me ... I may even buy it!

Final verdict on this one is that it's pretty good, but not that good. I like 3 or 4 songs, overall it's a bit samey, but some of the songs do stand out. My favourites:

    • Haha, thanks mate. I'm pretty fond of that one too.  I think I've said it a few times in this thread, but I don't think AI is a threat to "real" music whatsoever. Sorry, I know I'm repeating myself, but I could see a world where it has a significant impact on dance music and music that is already, for lack of a better term, created artificially anyway.  And I am amazed by, and love what it can do with rock/metal music, but it's still got nothing on what a group of four or five like-minded individuals can come up with, or most notably, a song-writer with a great voice. Or even a good voice.  I have some deeper cuts in my newer material and I am happy enough with the results but it still sounds like AI emotive, absolutely no comparison at all to a real dude pouring his heart out with his own delivery and melodic structure, straight from a songwriter's brain. And as cool as the music is, you listen to a heap of AI and then you put on just one or two top-end favourite bands and you're all like, oh, yeah, AI definitely can't do that. All the intricacies like guitar and drum fills, vocal hooks and melodies... if anything AI music has given me more appreciation for great artists. On the flip-side, it makes me view poorer artists in a dimmer light, lol, but it makes me really appreciate the real craftsmen and women a lot more.  lol, speaking of rants.  Ah, I've had this pickle a few times before. I like the chorus better in V1, but the verses better in V2. Usually in this case the chorus (V1) would win out for me.  And hey, thanks for posting these, lol. I was playing them and looked to the side of my screen and noticed I had 50 credits!! Bonus. I wouldn't have checked otherwise. So I guess even if you run out, you still get the standard daily 50 credits that even free users get. Gotta admit, that's a bit of a relief as 14 more days of nothing was going to be tough. And at last 50 keeps me well limited too. I might not even get one keeper song with 50 credits the way I've been going recently.    
    • Darkstone - Heart Of Steel (2024)   Well, here's two versions of song number 9.   https://suno.com/song/4e549a3d-d7e6-4e8c-a022-ae96830014b3   https://suno.com/song/331b2d37-cb0f-4006-8d93-c8bb69e4df8a
    • Ooh, thanks for the reminder. I should give the full thing a listen. 
    • Goodbye Windows - Corrosion of Conformity
    • Fear Is the Mindkiller - Fear Factory
    • I’m really liking this release. More guitar on it than I expected!
    • Might be worth looking into
