Product Description

Product Description

When the rollercoaster ride that was The Darkness came to an abrupt and messy end with the departure of Justin Hawkins, the remaining members of the band were staring premature retirement in the face. But when rock `n' roll courses through your veins, surrender is never an option, and so less than an hour after their singer jumped ship, plans were already afoot to get the show back on the road.
An entirely tougher, edgier and heavier beast than their former band, the arrival of Stone Gods represents a scintillating new dawn for British rock music. Fronted by Richie Edwards, whose powerful voice resonates with four decades of classic rock gusto, and with Hawkins assuming lead guitar duties, former Graham Coxon alumnus Toby Macfarlaine on bass guitar and Ed Graham hammering the skins, these road-ravaged pros have spent the last year slaving away over hot guitars, carefully crafting the songs that will comprise their forthcoming and as yet untitled debut album. A dazzling and diverse mixture of crunching heavy metal anthems, irresistible radio-rock and sumptuous, ballsy ballads; it's a glorious celebration of everything that makes loud, blaring rock `n' roll so reliably exhilarating.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant 24 July 2008
By cougarric
Format:Audio CD
Just to set the scene, I am late 30's and a fan of rock/metal in general. I can enjoy anything from Matchbox 20 to Metallica.
I wasn't expecting too much from Stone Gods, but seeing the Classic rock review made me sit up and take notice. I'm glad I did.
The first few listens were encouraging. Burn The Witch being the best. Similar to the Darkness in terms of riffing but this time supporting by the awesome rock vocals of Richie Edwards. A perfect match.
The songs are all great. Not a single filler, and a lot of variation, but not too much so that you find the album disjointed.
There's a few potential commercial singles, but thankfully they sit nicely with the rest of the (heavier) songs and don't sound out of place at all.
I'd played the album around 10 times when it suddenly became a "repeat play" album - something which doesn't happen too often with me these days. The only song I do skip is the final one O Whereo my beero, which is ok but a little pedestrian compared to the sheer quality before it.
I checked out how the album and singles had done just now and couldn't believe how lacklustre the sales have been. The Darkness' hype obviously made the difference because this albums kicks both of their albums into touch and deserves so much more.
Awesome songs, awesome singing, awesome riffing. Buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Out of THE DARKNESS 21 Jun 2008
By S. Hammond VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
I got hold of a preview of this album, and being big fan of the darkness a few years back, I was expecting to be disappointed.

I was hooked from the very first track BURN THE WITCH, which I believe is their first single, which ends with a bit of thrash metal stylee guitar shredding. This band are a lot heavier than the darkness ever were, and I don't think can be seen as a novelty band which was a kinda label that the darkness couldn't really shake.

I have had this cd for a week, and its been playing in my works van non-stop on repeat....it's a catchy album!

The bands seem to have gelled well with new addition of Toby MacFarlaine (out of Graham Coxons band), and Ritchie Edwards seems to have taken over well at the mic.

There's not quite as many of the thin-lizzy inspired twin lead guitar-work on here as on the darkness, as I suspect Ritchie is playing rythm guitar, and not dabbling too much.

There's influences you can here from a few artists....some acdc, and a little thin lizzy in places (as with the darkness), track 12 has DEFINITELY got a reminicence of Def Leppard about it.

I can't pick out a bad track on here, like I say its been playing non stop in my van, and I think it will be for quite some time.

This is what the darkness SHOULD have been like!!

I hope Stone Gods have huge success with this album, and I hope many folk will be as pleasantly surprised by this cd as I were.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this band and album -- buy this immediately! 15 July 2008
By PhotoRuss
Format:Audio CD
What I liked about The Darkness was that the songs were good, I got the humor, and the band was absolutely killer! I sometimes got tired of the Justin's vocals, though.

The Stone Gods are not that similar to The Darkness, except for the fact that it is the same band and they're still just as amazing! This is a very strong hard rock album with solid songs all the way through. Drummer Ed Graham still lays down a groove like all of my favorite AC/DC songs, and Dan and Ritchie's guitar work is in top form, as there are tons of great riffs, and lots of great playing. Ritchie's vocals are quite a bit different than Justin's were, but I *much* prefer Ritchie's!

This album reminds me a bit of the excellent Canadian band Sword from the 80's, but I really prefer the Stone Gods. It's too bad that US radio is so useless these days, because Don't Drink The Water, Where You Coming From, and Lazy Bones would all make awesome singles.

If you're looking for one of the best hard rock albums in a long time and one of the best hard rock debuts this decade, don't hesitate -- buy it immediately. This will be a band to watch. I hope they come to the US.
