Dynazty – Bring the Thunder (2009)
It never ceases to amaze me how many cool bands have come out of Sweden as of late. Dynazty is latest bunch of hard rockers ready to kick your ass.
It makes me feel old when a band like Dynazty comes along, and rocks out like it is 1987 all over again. The funny thing is, the oldest member of Dynazty is 24. With the way, Bring the Thunder rocks, you would think these guys were veterans of the Sunset Strip. In all honesty, these guys were in diapers when the L.A. Scene hit its peak. Nonetheless, Dynazty brings us a classic sounding rock record with big hooks on their debut release Bring the Thunder.
Before I heard Dynazty for the first time, I noticed that one of their two guitarists was none other than Rob Love from the band Zan Clan. He is an up and coming shredder that can play with the best of them. Lucky for him, he had John Berg to trade licks with. Berg is no slouch in the six string department either. As a result, Bring The Thunder is a guitar noodlefest and I love it!
Dynazty’s singer, Nils Molin has a serious set of pipes. He has an impressive vocal range that falls somewhere in between former Crash Diet singer Dave Lepard (R.I.P.), and ex TNT front man Tony Harnell. The bottom line is this, the guy can flat out sing, and he can hit some notes that few other singers would even try.
This disc has a bunch of cool rockers including the kick ass title track “Bring the Thunder”, “Catch the Night”, “Lights Out” and “Top of The Line”. There really isn’t a bad song in the bunch. Producer Chris Laney worked his magic on this disc, and as a result it sounds amazing.
If you are a fan of bands like Steel Panther, Shotgun Messiah or Crash Diet. You will probably love this CD as much as I do. Bring the Thunder is a fantastic debut by Dynazty. With an album this good, you are going to be hearing a lot more about this talented band in the near future.
