Make hump day heavy with Royal Thunder! The Atlantan rockers are on the first stretch of a tour that takes them everywhere from Toronto to Corpus Christi as they perform 24 shows over the course of 30 days. My initial impression as I listened to the first few songs off their debut full length album CVI, was that they sounded a lot like Wolfmother with female vocals (female vocals make everything better). As I continued to listen through the album, however, I found the structure of many of their songs to be more intricate and orchestrated than the straight-ahead rock of Wolfmother. The album unfolds into a less growly type of Mastodon feel -- the torch carriers of Atlantan metal (but don't forget, half of Mastodon is from Rochester, NY!).
The vocals of Mlna Parsonz cut through the grimy sludge of the instruments to give an overall energetic and tight sound.
Playing in support this evening are Buffalo's own doom rockers, Malarchuk and Ancients of Earth.
All in all, expect a trio of awesomely heavy performances tonight and plan on waking up tomorrow morning with a ringing in your ears!
