SIN DEALER - DYING TO LIVE
INDEPENDENT
METAL TO INFINITY
I want take you all along for an excursion straight to the world of pure Rock 'n' Roll music. This crusade is offered by four Totonto, Ontario based rockers...name of the band is Sin Dealer! Born out of the ashes of bands like Seas Of Green, Sons Of Otis, Plasma Blast, Edwin & The Pressure...no fooling around or beating around the bush, Eric Kuthe (vocals), Jeff Zurba (drums), Frank Seargeant (bass) and guitar player Ron Bechard came together as one, rehearsals took place finishing a few songs for a first release...Sin Dealer was ready to unleash their Rock 'n' Roll power to the world!
A debut album appeared by the title of "13" in 2004, an independent effort fulffilled with songs coming straight from their hearts. Playing music the way they like and give a fuck about the rest is Sin Dealer's attitude. These guys' style of music reflects so many influences or inspirations...singer Eric said: "This is a collection of all we've seen, tasted, smelled and felt over the years, and ended up being a collaboration between a bunch of buddies that just 'get' the music together". Spoken words from the mouth of a brother who knows very well about what he speaks about.
In my opinion, the style of Sin Dealers is a mixture of styles like Classic / Southern / Stoner / Blues Rock and Sludge / Doom Metal...to announce a few comparable bands i'd like to mention: Cathedral, Hellyeah, Alabama Thunderpussy, C.O.C., Five Horse Johnson, Hell Yeah, Paradise Lost (Shades Of God, Icon albums),...extremely heavyweight guitar riffs varied with nice, quite melodic solo treatment assault my ears right from the beginning...i was hooked on it so i turned on the volume!
A second striking characteristic of the band is a very rough and raw, whiskey bottled kinda singer which matches completely with Sin Dealer's way of music. My conviction quality grows as the CD progresses, awesome! Also great to hear are the combinations of both bass and drum lines...hard knocking, heavy as can be! Production is very promising, sordid and greasy but it feels good to me. This type of music asks for a dirty production, so..."Dying To Live" contains 10 songs and a few that surely rock your heart out are: 'Betrayal', 'Dying To Live', 'Magic Woman' and of course a fantastic AC / DC cover of 'Walk All Over You' (best AC/DC cover ever heard).
If your heart ans soul is longing for straight up, solid heavyweighted Rock 'N' Roll music...don't hesitate to buy Sin Dealer's "Dying To Live". Without this album, your music collection won't be complete at all. Recommended all the way! Information can be find at: http://www.metalqueenmgmt.ca/ or www.myspace.com/sindealer MY POINTS: 87 / 100
