SONJA - Loud Arriver CD

Sonja seems to really get what heavy metal’s all about – take-no-prisoners, no fucks given, loud and proud rocking out. Of course there’s other things it can be, but this really does hit on a big part of why this genre was so appealing to me. This is brassy, triumphant trad metal in the general old 80s mode that doesn’t really seem to be aping anybody. It’s often hard to really nail a trad metal sound in this day and age because of the meat-and-potatoes nature of it. Too far in any experimental direction and you become something other than old school heavy metal, but many bands seem to have no real new ideas at all. But Sonja finds the line.
