Music: Modern Hard/Stoner Rock
Website: www.sitymilesahead.com
Duration: 42 minutes (13 tracks)
Country: Italy
Time has come for full album – “Millions of Burning Flames” after the Ep “Blank State”. It looks like the Italian's rockers are already sure of their compositions, because they strengthened in their style – they still portray contemporary approach to Hard Rock but with musical elements of Stoner Rock, Glam Metal and Grunge. I earlier though – they are undecided simply…
The tracks are very predatory, however with the considerable dose of characteristic instrumental-vocal melodics in style of Hard & Heavy. The compositions are base on typical rules for the species – an introduction, a stanza, a refrain, a development and solos, etc. – This causes that the songs fall into ears easily and they are catchy. Obviously the sound of the whole is contemporary – more heavy than from 80th.
The rhythmics of works usually is fast and even very fast, like for the threshing in style of Hard Rock (with good work of drums). The slower fragments also appear there. We will hear the balladic motives and the nostalgic pieces there.
The album “Millions of Burning Flames” shows that musicians have the many ideas for their works. The every song has something interesting to offering and not only from area of Rock and Metal but even from area of Blues and Country music. But the album is very coherent despite this differentiation.
I would propose the music of SIXTY MILES AHEAD for fans BON JOVI and EUROPE first of all but and also for lovers of QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE.
