\"SilvertungMaryland quartet Silvertung are a refreshing addition to the Hard Rock and Alt. Metal genre, and with independently released Devil\u2019s In the Details<\/em>, they prove to be more than just the average rock band.<\/p>\n

After a very short intro, there are eleven tracks full of diversity, but each packed with attitude, energy and style.
\n\u201cComing Alive\u201d starts with chugging guitar riffs from ZZ which continue throughout, and the profusely heavy drumming comes from Danno. Vocalist Speed\u2019s raspy voice is strong and commanding and the song flows well with the good bass work added by Skoot.<\/p>\n

\u201cJustify\u201d is fast and relentless with a decent chorus as Speed ups the ante with louder and aggressive vocal tones.
\n\u201cBurden\u201d is a brilliant song. The excellently delicate guitar tones lead the way over some good backing riffs and the chorus is melodic and addictive. It\u2019s a song that brings to mind Arizona clan Digital Summer, in the way that the song is so intricate at times it sounds more like electronica rather than super guitar playing, yet it is gloriously atmospheric and therefore the best song on the album by far.<\/p>\n

\u201cUsed To Fly\u201d is a slower ballad-like song, starting with just an acoustic guitar before the drums and amps are plugged in halfway through to make this a soft rock anthem and another highlight.<\/p>\n

\u201cFalling Again\u201d is full of heavy and furious guitar work and \u201cDaddy\u2019s Little Girl\u201d is a nod in the sleaze rock direction in both guitar style and lyrical content. <\/p>\n

\u201cHello\u201d is a brilliant way to end the album. Again it\u2019s a slow tempo song, beginning with just an acoustic guitar and Speed\u2019s stripped down vocals. Later on, the bass, guitar and drums kick in to make this a fantastic melodic rock song. ZZ adds a couple of 80s\u2019 style guitar solos which hit the nail right on the head before the song draws a great album to a fine close.<\/p>\n

Devil\u2019s In the Details<\/em> is a brilliant release, and as you listen to the record from start to finish, you can hear the natural progression of Silvertung as each song seems to witness the band find their feet more and more.
\nFans of Godsmack, Shinedown and the heavier moments of Three Days Grace might just find Silvertung to be one of the best new hard rock acts around.<\/p>\n
