CYAN KICKS – Come hell, come high water – album review

Since releasing their debut album, ‘I Don’t Love You’ in 2019, Finnish alt rockers Cyan Kicks have been slowly turning heads with their eclectic sound. Their 2023 sophomore release, ‘I Never Said 4ever’, garnered greater attention from further afield and led to a series of shows and festival appearances in the UK.

Those catching either the groups full throttle Forest Stage performance or their stunning acoustic renditions in the campsites of 2000trees were instantly converted. Now those fans have their first taste of new music to really sink their teeth into as the band share their third studio album, ‘Come Hell, Come High Water’.

They album wastes no time in unleashing their anthemic modern metal stylings with opening trio ‘From the Bottom of My Heart’, ‘Echo’ and ‘Middle of a Breakdown’ all fantastically fun.

Nailing Cyan Kicks down on a genre isn’t easy with electronic elements, pop sensibilities and an alternative rock sound built for the biggest stages. We’ve never been fans of pigeonholing music however, and we suggest instead of trying to label the band, you should instead just enjoy the madness that is Cyan Kicks!

There are ferocious riffs, driving rhythms and the incredible instrument that is the vocals of singer Susanna Alexandra; and the results are unashamed rock ragers full of emotion and unrelenting energy.

Every song on the record deserves its own shout out but to preserve our word count we’ll just point you to the finale of a rousing Heart cover (‘Alone’) and the Dan Lancaster produced hit, ‘Dancing With Demons’.

The entire album though is a really great listen and one of those that just makes you want to experience these songs in a live setting. Hopefully more shows will be coming and even more people can then discover this superb band.
