HELLYEAH present their new work in an unbelievable cool and airy style, for a bigger part the songs are pushed forward by irresistible grooves. On top of the cake, the guys offer a lot of catchy refrains.
All fans of Pantera could be enthused while enjoying Band Of Brothers, because the band also shows a more empathetic side apart from all aggressiveness. The musicians try a different and more filigree approach with the ballad-like track Between You And Nowhere and succeed at all amounts. This composition comes across in really heat-warming manner and touches the listener without doubt.
For a bigger part, stomping and quite nice rolling Thrash Metal dominates and cares for a lot of fun while teetering with or moshing around. Interim, the musicians speed up and care for an additional touch of dynamics during Rage/Burn.
It’s a rockin’ and rollin’ all the time, just loosened up by felicitous breathers, but in all, HELLYEAH seem to be limited concerning measure changes and variation. After the well-done opening triple, the songs’ structures get common, despite the dry-as-a-bone tracks care for slight variation concerning the vocals: in addition to aggressive barking, some clear and emotional vocal parts come into operation.
Unfortunately, Band Of Brothers lacks of certain surprising turns, but the album definitely bursts of waltzing catchiness and will appeal to all likers of direct, simple and heavy grooving songs.
