BLACK ROZE Penny For Your Sins By Daniel Höhr, European Correspondent Sunday, April 30, 2023 @ 5:46 AM
According to the band, Penny For Your Sins is ‘a BLACK ROZE confession booth! A collection of the band's deepest, darkest thoughts, deeds, and desires.‘ And these are clad in a variety of styles ranging from Glam, Sleaze, Goth to Metal and Rock. There‘s also a classic 1980s ballad, a pinch of Punk and an acoustic bonus reminiscent of FLEETWOOD MAC.
The opening title track kicks in with Baz Rose‘s relentless riffing. The song thrives on onbridled power, driving Hard Rock feel and Viixen‘s straight-in-your-face vocals. A short half-time part lets you catch your breath before a short but brilliant lead guitar part. And short and brilliant are keywords here – each song is very much to the point, perfectly balanced, tells a story and draws you deeper into the world of BLACK ROZE. Sometimes gloomy and sinister, sometimes with a good times Rock ‘n‘ Roll feel – check out “Hit Me Up“, reminiscent of MÖTLEY CRÜE and certainly with no shortage of cowbell. The balladesque (in the best sense of the word) “Devil‘s Door“ is the nexus and, at the same time, the artistic starting point of the album. It was the first song written in February of 2020 after singer
The album has a full but crystal clear production sound, each instrument cuts through the mix and everything is well balanced. Kudos to producer and engineer Dan Lucas at the Joplin House.
Bottom line: an excellent album, each of the ten tracks plus one bonus is a killer and there‘s no filler. Penny For Your Sins is very likely to end up at the top of my top-ten list at the end of the year.
