Sons Of Ares - The Mountain
Metal, Stoner/Doom Metal, Hard Rock
Georgia, United States
Overall Impression: Atlanta-based Sons of Ares have released the new metal track The Mountain. Grooving hard at a moderate pace, The Mountain throws its weight around with heavy guitar riffs and killer tone. Casting an enormous shadow, the lyrics lay claim to the massive and destructive. Mountains, cyclones, and warheads all find their place in the tune. They are sung with a broad, enveloping delivery and encompass all who come near. Mirroring the feel of the groove, the guitar solo avoids showiness and instead opts for a gnarly sound and seething delivery. Comprised of Charles Jeffress (guitar, bass, vocals) and Craig Barfield on drums, Sons of Ares delivers a hard hitting new metal tune with The Mountain.
Strongest Point(s): The music and groove stand out the most with The Mountain. The slower tempo sets a very cool mood that reflects the enormity of the lyrics.
Target Audience Appeal: Fans of Hard Rock and Metal will dig The Mountain by Sons of Ares
Artist target suggestions: Alice In Chains, Pantera, White Zombie, Metallica, Faith No More, Marilyn Manson, Mastodon, Black Sabbath, Rob Zombie, Slayer
