RHYME / THE SEED AND THE SEWAGE (2012)

This is Rhyme's second album after their successful debut release "Fi(r)st". The band in its short career have achieved to perform countless live performances including their live show with Papa Roach and Misfits in Europe. The band has, also, announced that a number of guest musicians, including members of bands such as Destrage, Elvenking and Secret Sphere have also participated in the recording sessions.



After the my first listen of "THE SEED AND THE SEWAGE", I dare to say that I liked this album a lot. The mix of 'modern' metal along with some traditional heavy rock elements achieve to make the whole result very enjoyable from start to finish. The opener "Manimal" is a heavy in-your-face tune with a punchy sound and some powerful vocal lines. "Party Right" is simply a huge 'modern' hard rock track!! It has a bad to the bone attitude, great arrangements and everything in this track is perfectly balanced!! "Brand New Jesus" and "The Hangman" are both excellent tunes. The cover of Depeche Mode's hit "Wrong" is very interesting too. 

Overall, this is a very interesting release all the way. Great arrangements, punchy guitars, a tight musicianship and some in-your-face vocal performances are the ingredients of this effort. One of the pleasant surprises of 2012.
