The Light: “The Light” Digital and CD and Vinyl 11th April 2025 Fastball Music. German Rock / Dark Wave / Metal band.
Reviewing is a difficult task. Sometimes, it is really hard to classify a band in a music genre. I often choose several styles to describe how I feel and what they remind me of. In this case, I have a really hard time. Depending on the song, you go from a very heavy pounding guitar/bass riff you hear in Metal.
Most of the songs are into a Rock music style, yet the dark vibe of the vocals and some parts/songs make you get into that Dark Wave/ gothic feel. The cover design has the same vibe as the music, very dark with light in the middle and shadow lights around. A character is in the center watching the portal door to another universe.
Three-piece member bands have the attack and energy of a full one. I can guess they unite to blend their influences and their other band’s music style into one.
Have a taste:
Influences: Metallica, Mastodon, Billy Idol, Midnight Oil, Rage Against The Machine, Savatage, Paradise Lost, Type ‘o Negative, and many more.
Two powerful videos, and ten songs to blast your day. The Light is bringing another blood into this scene.
For people who are waiting for something out of the ordinary, with no boundaries in the music genre. You will love it.
A great album to own 90/100.
