I've been listening to the new DYNAZTY release, "Sultans of Sin", for the past week or so and many of the bands coming out of Sweden seem to be sleaze bands but DYNAZTY doesn't fit into that genre at all. These guys are a class act of straight forward rockers with a high voltage front man named Nils Molin. RockEyez has been following the band for some time and they have matured in all categories and are even more explosive now than their earlier years.
The opening track "Come Alive" has some eerie keyboards that blasts into a riveting melodic dream. Nils Molin has a Dio-type voice with a higher pitch and will surely gather the masses. These guys are the full package with expert musicianship. I can't say enough of DYNAZTY's writing ability and the structure of the songs.
Check out "Raise Your Hands", which starts off with a slight taste of PANTERA's "Walk" yet takes a turn in direction once Molin's vocals enter. "Raise Your Hands" is sure to be a fan favorite; it's sure one of mine. I can see the crowds going off on this one and the guitars are blazing!
You may bow now to one of music's ultimate bands - DYNAZTY. This year has been a good year to start but will anyone be able to touch "Sultans of Sin" for the rest of 2012? "Land of Broken Dreams" is another killer tune which makes these boys the top band coming out of Sweden since CRASHDÏET. Molin is truly a God; haven't heard anything this good since I heard Sebastian Bach debut in SKID ROW all those years ago. Guitar work by Rob Love Magnusson and Mike Lavér is outstanding and the choruses and background vocals should be heard in arenas around the globe.
"Falling" is the first soft melodic rocker on the album that will send you to another world. Put those headphones on and join the world of DYNAZTY. Check those pipes on Nils, you can't deny greatness here.
Next up you get that In-your-face rock with "The One To Blame". Makes you wanna say give' em hell DYNAZTY! You get some heavy riffs from guitarist Magnusson with massive bass lines of Joel Fox Apelgren, yet Molin's vocals hold the torch to success on this one. These guys can kick your ass and at the same time sound traditional high power rock. This song is explosive stuff!
It's time for a truly amazing ballad called "Back Again". I really love the acoustic guitars, vocal harmonies and the lyrics on this one.
Here ya go, let's all get up and rock with "Bastards of Rock & Roll". One of the heaviest tracks on "Sultans of Sin"… Can you say ROCK ANTHEM???
Ending the disc is the title track "Sultans of Sin" and it's another killer track to a phenomenal release. Don't look for any filler songs on "Sultans of Sin". One listen to the CD you will be under DYNAZTY's spell and you WILL reap the benefits of a classic release.
