Godsticks - Faced with Rage (album reviews)



Godsticks - Faced with Rage (album reviews) "awash with meaty riffs, pitted against moody Porcupine Tree-esque ballads" (Total Guitar). Listen to the album in full http://found.ee/FACED_WITH_RAGE Darran Charles brings Godsticks' fearless energy and industrial progressive rock to Kscope. “A winning blend of channelled aggression and emotional depth, combining lyrical intelligence and instrumental fireworks” (Prog Magazine) “Faced With Rage is the band’s most rounded album and feels like a pinnacle of their career to date” (Ghost Cult) "Faced With Rage is underpinned by tightly knit thunderous rhythms, blended expertly with virtuoso lead work” (The Guitar Magazine) Fresh from their European tour with The Pineapple Thief at the start of 2017, Godsticks entered the studio to finish work on their new studio album - Faced With Rage. The Cardiff based 4 piece, having already been hailed by the UK’s Metal Hammer magazine as “one of the UK's most idiosyncratic rock bands”, with their new album have delivered on their promise to be just as heavy as their self-released 2015 album Emergence but this time with a darker feel and more industrial sound. A variety of synth sounds have found their way into the longer song formats (brevity had been the Godsticks calling card up until this point) but as always guitar and Charles’ vocals are still at the forefront of the band's sound. Lyrically, Faced With Rage, explores the theme of people dealing with emotional conflict in different scenarios, and who have a powerful desire to change their behaviour or situation. It features for the first time a four-piece line up with new drummer Tom Price and guitarist Gavin Bushell who bring a more aggressive playing style to back up Darran Charles' (who also performed on The Pineapple Thief's 2016 hit album Your Wilderness and is part of their live touring band) unique vocal sound and Dan Nelson’s driving bass. Drums and vocals were recorded at the world-renowned Monnow Valley Studio in Wales (Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Feeder, Rush and Manic Street Preachers) and the album was produced by James Loughrey (Skindred, Manic Street Preachers, Def Leppard).
