Just in time for the Summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere… BIG SUN comes out with their captivating debut album “Rite De Passage“. Hailing from Denmark, BIG SUN isn’t your typical band for sure. Their music, and “Rite De Passage” has a ‘lyric concept’, some kind of ‘occult lodge’ which brings to mind Blue Oyster Cult. Not surprisngly the band members prefer to remain anonymous,
But what really surprises is the musical variation on “Rite De Passage”; they go from trad metal to AOR with ease, and the whole thing not only works, but makes this album one of the most interesting and original releases this year. Think a mix of NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA, GHOST, BROTHER FIRETRIBE and MERCYFUL FATE. Crazy? Yeah, but really well done.

Take the track ‘Directions’ as example, a wild mix of AOR with progressive, which is slightly reminiscent of colleagues like NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA from Sweden. Then the dark ‘Maiden Sacrifice’ adds a creepy MERCYFUL FATE atmosphere, ‘Stronger Than Anyone’ brings some GHOST-like poppy goth, while ‘Lovers Die At Midnight is pure melodic hard rock with big choruses.
The range of styles on “Rite De Passage” is not exactly an everyday occurrence, and we strongly recommend you to discover this fresh new band.
