Album Review: Sons of Cult – Back to the Beginning (Fighter Records)

Carl Fisher 1 min read

Spanish five-piece heavy metal band, Sons of Cult will release their debut album ‘Back to the Beginning’ on January 5th, 2023, via Fighter Records.

An apt title as it turns out. Sons of Cult’s Back to the Beginning is ten tracks (and one cover) of old-school and straight-forward heavy metal. Uncomplicated and unreserved head-bangers that take inspiration from the likes of Saxon, Judas Priest, AC/DC, Iron Maiden and so much more.

It’s not 2023 according to Sons of Cult, it’s 1983 and heavy metal rules the world.

Of course, that does mean it isn’t exactly fresh or original sounding. However, that’s not what most will focus on. Instead, the focus is on how enjoyably straightforward and simple Sons of Cult’s heavy metal soundscape is. Good riffs, solid soloing, powerful vocals, groovy energy, hefty melodies, and dramatic intensity.

Sons of Cult have it going on, and that’s reflected in the ten tracks of this banging debut album. Where, the icing on the cake, is a cool cover of MSG’s Desert Song. A hidden track on the album, for some more old-school ways of thinking.

Feeling a bit of the new year’s blues? Sons of Cult will sort that out with the heavy metal time machine that is Back to the Beginning.
