\"AA Sound of Thunder has released Time\u2019s Arrow<\/em>, and this album proves to be, if possible, a fun heavy metal soundtrack. It is compelling and doesn\u2019t have weak moments. Nina Osequeda is a powerhouse vocalist and gives women musicians a promising lead role. She has a range of styles within the album. The different emotions can be heard throughout compound notes. <\/p>\n

Each track is equipped with decorating lead-ins. There are guitar solos and riffs by the plenty within this album. Every song has a superior sound. \u201cPower Play\u201d starts off the album, and it could have easily been the first single. It catches your attention immediately. \u201cQueen of Hell\u201d was the single for the EP release, and understandably, it was a great choice. There is an anthem-like nature within the intense lyrics. It brings back the fun edge to heavy metal instead of the assumed anger. <\/p>\n

Not every song can be described as fist-in-the-air. \u201cI\u2019ll Walk With You\u201d is a ballad that brings new life to typical love song style. The story within the song is captivating and fresh. It is indeed a love story, but the setting is a zombie apocalypse. It is more than enthralling. It is a lyrical illustration of the creativity that this band brings to the table. <\/p>\n

A Sound of Thunder is a Washington D.C.-based band. They are obviously fronted by a female vocalist. If this band hasn\u2019t made their way into your home or car, they need to be heard. This album is highly recommended for those who are interested in great metal without the same-old-same-old that is played on the radio. <\/p>\n
