RIVAL SONS – Lightbringer (2023) *HQ*
Classic Rock favorites RIVAL SONS will release its new album, “Lightbringer“, on October 20. It notably marks the group’s second full-length offering to be unveiled in 2023, following June’s critically acclaimed companion album “Darkfighter”.
About “Lightbringer”, guitarist Scott Holiday said: “When you do two albums back to back like this, there are a lot of things to think about. The first record has to pack enough of a punch and tell enough of a story for the second half to have an even bigger impact. We balanced them out with energy and meaning, but the follow-up always needed to deliver a bigger blow. I think ‘Lightbringer’ provides this.”
This is a rollicking, roaring, collection of new songs plenty of big dirty riffs, frenetic drumbeats, groovy basslines and Jay Buchanan ‘s bluesy wails. On many aspects, the new material brings back old-school RIVAL SONS sound. It has all of the early elements of what RIVAL SONS is and was.
