Bongo Boy Music Group/Bongo Boy Records Releases
Emidio’s Rock Den Volume One By Various Artists
Review by Skope Magazine
Angeles starts things off with the powerful rush
of “Not Here To Play.” Done expertly they are
propelled forward by an unstoppable rhythm
section. The guitars scream up into the sky with a
feral spirit.
Going for a 70s hard rock style is Cathedral
Reign’s classic approach of “Gentlemens
Choice.” With a significant sense of swagger the
song has a physicality to it. Multiple layers of
sound interact creating a kaleidoscopic fervor.
The take no prisoners approach works wonders
for Abandoned Souls’ “Best of Me.” Chugging
rhythms reign supreme full of great dollops of
distortion. Vocals go for something unhinged as
they rise above the din.
Driving rhythms run through the aptly named “Out on the Highway” by Keith Hill Project.
Everything goes for an unhinged sort of presence, one that allows nothing to be held back. Guitar
solos have a tremendous intensity with some truly fantastic shredding.
Cinematic in scope, Alyeus sprawls out in the seemingly infinite with “Archetype.” The song
has a stately, commanding presence to it while it grows in scope. Quite sweeping the piece stuns.
Sister Salvation goes for a raw, gritty, soulful sound with “REWIND.” Nostalgia permeates the
entirety of the piece. A great attention to detail allows the song to have a bluesy atmosphere,
while a pining quality emerges as things unfurl with such grace.
