DARKFIGHTER

âDARKFIGHTERâ is the first of not one but two new Rival Sonsâ albums expected this year. Perhaps they are making up for lost time as this marks the longest gap between albums in their albeit short career with their sixth album, âFeral Rootsâ arriving back in January 2019.
The wait is evidently worth it though as straight out the gates the album promises a little bit of everything that has made the band such an important part of the new wave of classic rock bands. âMirrorâ for example sees the band swapping elegant guitar riffs and delicate melodies in the way that they do so well.

The lead single and shortest track on the album, âNobody Wants To Dieâ, then reminds us of their ability to create short succinct rockers as well as longer sonic voyages (of which this album gets a couple).
The eight tracks on this record all stand on their own merit and collectively represent another stunning snapshot of a masterful band. When they are at the peak of their powers, nobody quite does it like Rival Sons. âBird in the Handâ and âGuillotineâ here being two tracks that encapsulate the majesty and the force present in the band.
Fans of the band will surely feel that this album ranks amongst the best that they have put out, which is saying something! With âLightbringerâ expected to arrive later this year alongside a UK Tour, it would appear to be a very good time to be a Rival Sons fan.
