San Francisco’s twin-guitar heavy rock juggernaut Older Sun has a velvet voice like no other in Kelsey Guntharp, and their string-slingers and grooving rhythm provide the fuel that all at once evokes Saxon’s tight riffing, Judas Priest’s aviator-donning anthems and Heart’s bottomless pocket. On their debut full-length Dawn of Darkness, Older Sun bring listeners back to a time when bands couldn’t be pigeonholed into a two-word subgenre. The freedom heard on albums like Led Zeppelin’s Physical Graffiti or on Pentagram’s early demos shine through, where dueling NWOBHM solos meet bouncing Motown beats, and jangling guitars charge with freight train bass, all while Guntharp howls at the moon before letting us down easy. <h2>BLOOD STAR</h2><a href="https://blood-star.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a> / <a href="https://www.facebook.com/bloodstarslc" target="_blank">Facebook</a>----BLOOD STAR is a new creative endeavor from Visigoth guitarist Jamison Palmer. However, let no assumptions linger that BLOOD STAR is Visigoth Part 2: while both rooted in traditional metal, Palmer's new outlet here harkens back to the classiest, most cruising, but also darkest heavy metal of the 1980s both in the US and in Germany <h2>INTRANCED</h2><a href="https://intranced.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a> / <a href="https://www.facebook.com/IntrancedOfficial" target="_blank">Facebook</a>----LA-based metal/hard rock band feat. singer James-Paul Luna (Holy Grail), guitarist Fili Bibiano (Fortress) and drummer Ben Richardson (Wild Eyes). Building on their celebrated musical pasts, the trio were united by the goal of mining the deep, rich seams of classic heavy metal, with a premium on songwriting and a focus on the epic themes of real life: triumph, tragedy, and heartbreak.
