HEAVY LIES THE CROWN by Godsized
(Metalville Records)
UK juggernauts known as Godsized return with their sophomore release, 'Heavy Lies The Crown'. Glen Korner- Vocals & Guitars, Chris Charles - Guitars, Gavin Kerrigan - Bass and Dan Kavanagh - Drums. What distinguishes these lads from all the other riff-heavy rock bands is their excellent song writing ability, combining great riffs with actual good structures and melodies. Classic, old school, hard rock. No gimmicks, no BS, just straight up, kick you in your teeth hard rock. 'Heavy Lies The Crown' practically leaps out and throws you against the wall! Right from the beginning it grabs your attention and demands it from one track to the next but I'd say the highlights for me are "Welcome To Hell", "Saving You", "Web Of Lies" and "Stone Cold Blow To The Head". "Fade" gives groove laden a guitar vibe and "Pay Your Debt". 'Heavy Lies The Crown' is always heavy, never boring, slab of guitar rock that should please anyone who's into bands like (early) Black Sabbath, Soundgarden, Corrosion of Conformity, Brand New Sin, and Black Stone Cherry. It flat-out rocks, and that's really all that matters. I wish more albums like this and bands like Godsized get more exposure because the best music speaks for itself and this is the kind of album that deserves attention. They are monsters of head banging hard charging hard rock, with memorable hooks and enough power to cause blackouts in medium size cities. You are missing out if you ignore this bunch.- Highly Recommended
