LOU & THE HOWLING SIFFER DEMONS is a group of people united by the similar fascination, that is love for fast cars and motorbikes and music of Rock. “At Your Service” is the second album of the band and of course the further evidence of the fascination, what is audible in the sounds, in the texts and it is visible in the graphic design of the album.

The team presents us with a very positive and lively compositions which are the result of mixture Post Punk Rock and Groove Metal with the strong taste of hard rock. Generally speaking, it is a contemporary Rock'n'Roll, full of the powerful riffs, crazy licks, melodic accents, dynamic rhythms and common chants supporting the male vocalist. Some themes remind me of Motorhead and less well-known Canadian band Rahova.

The diversity of music is clearly audible. The songs can be divided into the Post Punk Rock and Groove Metal (which is less to my misfortune). At times, it seems this is a different band with a different structure of riffs, a climate and an other vocal timbre (in the heavier moments there is a nice growl). Also, it happens the two genres of music intertwine in the songs. However, always dominated one of genre.

Personally, I would prefer to guys could focused more on Groove Metal, because these pieces are much better.
