PlanetMosh Keeping it Metal
London based heavy rock band AT THE SUN released their debut release Breathe EP on 3rd June with a launch party at The Water Rats, London. The album was recorded, mixed and mastered by John Mitchell at Outhouse Studios. AT THE SUN was formed by rhythm guitarist Kieron Heavens and bass player Alex Matthews who sought out the finest musicians they could find, to join them in their venture.
During this mini heatwave I really do feel like I’ve been AT THE SUN today for a lot longer than the nearly twenty minutes offered in this blistering debut. Opening and title track Breathe with it’s powerful driving beat reminds me of Drive It Like You Stole It by, the recently disbanded, Colour of Noise with Harry’s vocals sounding similar to those of James Toseland throughout the EP. Walk On Over a very seductive song, with some great riffage has a late sixties/early seventies vibe I’m thinking something along the lines of a Dazed and Confused Led Zeppelin doing Black Sabbath’s War Pigs! Devil in Your Eyes a powerful song with a chugging beat and an Inglorious/Toseland feel. Then last, but by no means least, we finish with Indestructible a mellower number which has more of a gothic flavour think, The Cult or The Sisters of Mercy.
An impressive debut from AT THE SUN with powerful vocals and solid musicianship, which hints at bigger and better things to come. Should appeal to fans of Stone Broken, Toseland, Bigfoot and Inglorious.
