This is the welsh Prog metallers’ fourth studio album, released in 2017, and it’s the one I love the most. Huge deep riffs and epic grooves, and I love Darren Charles’ vocal phrasing. The Prog metal world is a very crowded place and you have to be pretty amazing for people to take notice. I think Godsticks have quite a unique sound and vibe, and this album just tweaks my groove muscle in all the right ways.
Open Your Eyes just blows me away, the choppy ascending riff and groove before the softer vocal melody kicks in is just wonderful, and is one of my favourite tracks the band have done. There are beautiful softer moments like Revere where an element of funk is even added to the mix. Superb band and album, I suggest this is an album you should acquire.
9/10 from The Grooveman.
