Sons Of Tonatiuh/Parade Of Sorrow/Hydro-Phonic 2012 CD Review


  Sons  Of  Tonatiuh  are  a  band  from Atlanta,  Georgia  that  has  been  featured  before  in  this  zine  that  plays  a  mixture  of  stoner,  sludge,  doom  and  crust  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2012  album  "Parade  Of  Sorrow"  which  was  released  by  Hydro-Phonic.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  no  blast  beats  being  presented  on  the  recording,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  tone  with  stoner/sludge  metal  riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  riffing  that  combines  elements  of  sludge,  doom,  stoner,  crust  and  punk  together  with  a  good  amount  of  melody  being  thrown  into  the  riffing,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  70's  style  stoner  metal  guitar  solos  and  leads.

  Vocals  are  mostly  high  pitched  sludge/grindcore  screams  with  some  clean  singing  being  thrown  into  the  music  at  times,  while  the  lyrics  cover  dark  and  depressing  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful  and  heavy  sound  where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording.  

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  album  from  Sons  Of  Tonatiuh  and  if  you  where  a  fan  of  their  previous  efforts,  you  should  check  out  this  recording.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "White  Wall"  "Colors  Run  Red"  "Seasick"  and  "Fallout".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
