\"\"Somewhere between the \u201cI don\u2019t give a shit\u201d Heavy Metal of Sin City, The Order, Whiskey Hell, and Black Aces, the old school vibe of Accept, Motorhead, and AC\/DC, with a healthy dose of the 1980s’ guitar driven heaviness of Dangerous Toys, Vain or W.A.S.P., you have Sweden\u2019s excellent Devil\u2019s Gun. Sing For the Chaos <\/em>is heavy as all hell, but still strangely melodic, and complete with screaming vocals (think Dangerous Toys\u2019 Jason McMaster mixed with Accept\u2019s Udo Dirkschneider,) as these boys harness the sounds of the above mentioned legendary bands with careless abandon and are here to rock your stupid face off, with no apologies. Not a keyboard or ballad to be heard as this Swedish leather-wearing quintet blasts through 10 songs non-stop, never allowing the listener to catch his breath.<\/p>\n

Released on the Black Lodge Records label, the production is really well done, as rhythmic guitar riffs lay on a headbanging stance while at the same time a guitar solo rips its way through the melody. While the music is uncomplicated, never venturing far from old school Metal, the attitude that band has worked hard to maintain and offer comes through loud and clear. Chord structures and how each song builds on a simple foundation of guitar and drums as the screaming vocals give these songs an unmistakable get-up-and-go.<\/p>\n

Remember that as you listen to the opening track, the Accept-inspired \u201cKiller Machine,\u201d the drums of \u201cTear Down the Wall,\u201d the twin guitar attack of the love motivated \u201cQueen of Destruction,\u201d the monster riffs of the CD highlight \u201cLights Out,\u201d and the in-your-face velocity of \u201cElectrical Shock.\u201d And how can one not want to hear a song called \u201cAlligator Fuck House?\u201d This song\u2019s nasty, spiteful backwoods vigor will make you and your friend\u2019s head for the nearest bar where you practice cracking bar bottles over each other\u2019s heads. True old school Metal is all over \u201cBad to the Bone,\u201d and closing this great collection of songs is \u201cOn The Road.\u201d<\/p>\n

The songs of this one will stay with you long after the CD\u2019s playing time is over. And it is that which makes this an album you\u2019re gonna want to hear. Sure the songs are simple, thunderous and high speed. The boys of Devil\u2019s Gun have taken an active role in writing songs that grab your attention and refuse to let go \u2013 and thank God for that. Gather your friends, crack open the beer, do some serious neck stretching exercises ’cause tomorrow your neck is going to be sore as hell from the headbanging that is about to come. Now if we could only get American radio to pull their heads out of their ass and give Devil\u2019s Gun some airtime \u2013 yeah, right. But the hell with radio for they \u2013 and they always will \u2013 continue to show their incompetence and lack of trying to support great bands like Devil\u2019s Gun. But buy this, gather your friends together, and prepare for a frenzy of Metal that never gets old.<\/p>\n
