Sons of Thunder
Circus of PowerOk, this band is dubbed as a cross between Metallica and Ozzy. All I can say is that this band doesn’t even come close to either of those bands, even at their lowest point. Sons of Thunder play some pretty heavy music, but that is the only bright spot here. The vocals are very lame and boring. They try to add a “tough” feel to them, but it’s not very convincing. If I didn’t know better, I’d say this was a joke band. The lyrics are horridly cheesy. Check this line out from the title track Circus of Power: “Like a clown/were bringin’ joy to the crowd/and laughter for the sad/Oh yeah/We’re like clowns/we mess up sometimes but/oh but we’re not bad or evil.” That’s plain ridiculous! It’s stuff like this that gives Christians a bad rap. Speaking of rap, they even try some rapped-like vocals on a couple songs. And the artwork!!! Oh my gosh!! I’ll never let any of my metalhead friends see this in fears of being embarrassed for life! All I can say is don’t waste your money on this crap. [Rivel Records/ Matt Morrow]
