Goddass ::: The Ages Come

Hailing from London, Goddass comprises of a four piece hard rock outfit with an attitude to love. Their recent EP release ‘The Ages Come’, is a powerful testament to their capabilities as one of the most talented new groups to hit the music scene this year.

The EP kicks off with a catchy hard rock number entitled ‘Make You Sweat’, which boasts a solid drum line alongside top-quality guitar riffs. The catchy beats and strong vocals carry the song from start to finish in an instantly impressive first number.

The second track ‘Getaway’ begins with a great introduction that launches into a toe-tapping fast paced hard rock beat – with lyrics reminiscent of some of the most well known popular hard rock ensembles of the past decade. It’s definitely a song to be heard, and one that will stick in your head as it packs a punch that leaves you singing it to yourself for days.

After making such a strong impression the band branches out in the following track ‘No One to return to the sounds of their own musical influences in this epic ballad. However they pull it off with ease, showing the skills of strong, top quality musicianship and powerful lyrics and vocals to match.

Humbly as ever, they polish off this masterpiece with the final track ‘The Ages Come’, which is as melodic as its predecessor but also as likeable. Another track abundantly supplied with excellent vocals and some short but intoxicating guitar solos; it bears a certain likeness to some of the more recent rock and metal outfits of the past decade such as Avenged Sevenfold – without the angry lyrical component.

Despite this they still manage to retain solid undertones of their own acclaimed rock influences, which create a sound that is instantly likeable and appealing to those who love a track to rock out to.

It seems the band is definitely one to watch, with this EP leaving us expecting great things from these UK newcomers. It won’t be long before they steal the top spot as one of the best new rock bands on the scene, as well as a place on our shelves.
