Some songs are remarkable as “Scream of Souls” and “Burn the Sun” with a good and guitar vocal performance. Rusty Bonez are a band that are not ashamed, or should I say afraid, of guitar soloing. “Wrath” is full of them. Kostas Karapetsas is a resourceful and skilled rock guitarist with some Metal techniques. He also knows how to chose a vibrant tone to his guitar. It sure does not sound opaque and dead within a wave of effects. It is vibrant, of livid colors – funny to write colors, but it expresses very well the idea. He has some good riffing too. Listen to “Nameless Hero,” a mix between Alice In Chains and Soundgarden. “Nameless Hero” also presents a good, and creative, bass line too.
I wish “Wrath” were released 20 ago. Honestly. Things would come in a different way. But back then no one, I mean the majors, would release something like Rusty Bonez. Too heavy, to good to be true. A song like “Goldmann Shagged” would have made a serious blast back then. A hard rock with mix of sleezy and shoegazed rock. I would dare to say that reminds a little a small band called Metallica during the “Reload” era, but forgive me, Rusty Bonez sound much better, much more true.
