Review:
The Souldiggers Band released a stunning debut album - “Search For Greater Things” - back in 2012 to minor critical acclaim for it's blend of Blues Rock, Hard Rock and Stoner Rock. It showed these guys had something about them to standout from the crowd. Well 3 years later, this crazy hard-rocking duo from Russia return with their even better 2nd album – Second Coming.
What made their debut album such a blast is more than equalled here as the 'Second Coming' is packed full of great songs to get you into the hard-rocking mood. It's not the most sophisticated of sounds but that doesn't stop The Souldiggers Band having such a great time. Fans of QOTSA and Soundgarden are going to love this as these guys sound like a wonderful hybrid of those two legendary bands.
Second track – Son Of A Bitch – is one mean and powerful Grunge/Stoner Rock number that's big on Volume and packed with a menacing Southern Rock groove. It's just one of the great tracks waiting for you to check out as The Souldiggers Band leave no stone unturned in entertaining the hell out of you. These guys are one of the finest duo's you're likely to hear all year.
'Second Coming' plays out like a Greatest Hits collection, as the songs all have a huge likeability around them. It's all killer and no filler. Tracks such as 'Blissout', 'Last Hope Rising', 'TKRV Sundown' and 'Useless Days' all venture through the hard-rock spectrum to show that The SoulDiggers Band are very hard to categorize. As the album mood changes from Hard Rock to Blues Rock, Blues Rock to Grunge and Grunge to Stoner Rock.
Sure the album can be a little too long at 54 mins in length. But you can't deny how talented The Souldiggers Band are. They have written some great songs to get your teeth stuck into. My advice, just download this excellent album now as it's available for Free Download from BandCamp now. You won't be sorry!!!
Brilliant and Highly Recommended.
