Dead Lord-Surrender

“Distance Over Time,” kicks things off very nicely. A duelling guitar melody, a pounding drum beat, and some real melody. It’s enough to get the listener thinking of Thin Lizzy. When the vocals start, the listener is immediately taken to a distant time, where things were mystical and powerful. The rhythms are filled with energy and passion. A strong opener.

“Letter From Allen St.” is an absolute rocker, moving with passion and frenzy. The rhythm is electric, the vocals tell a story that captures the listener’s attention and never lets go.

“Authority,” gallops on the pathway. The rhythm is very Thin Lizzy-esque. The vocals hit in a different manner, the story that they tell captures the imagination and one can definitely imagining the crowd singing the words back.

“Evil Always Wins,” brings the double guitar attack by in full force, pushing things through and setting things up for the swaggering rhythm. The vocals once more tell a tale that captures passion and despair all in one singularly groovy melody.

“Messin’ Up,” gets a summery vibe to proceedings, shimmering and shifting through the passageway and turning the screws.

“Dark End Of The Rainbow,” is eerie. The introductory riffs are filled with a contemplative edge, whirring through time and space. As the song progresses, the vocals come and the story gets going for real.

“Bridges,” brings the swagger back, hitting in several areas. The riffs pick up speed and freneticism, dealing a crushing blow to all who come before them.

“The Loner’s Ways,” gets thoughtful, shimmering through the line whilst delivering some stellar guitar work. The vocals bring about the journeyman’s story and the intricacies therein.

“Gonna Get Me,” snaps and crackles, burning with energy and passion.

“Dystopia,” hits hard and fast. Burning through the midnight oil and delivering something frenetic and fantastic. A fitting ending to the album.

Be sure to get this record when it comes on 4th September via Century Media.
