California based quintet, Dog
Faced Gods have a unique yet dry sound. It’s somewhere between
alternative rock, hard rock, rap-core, stoner rock, and nu metal.
They have a good sound and presence on “Stoned Council”
but it varies from song to song. They probably need to focus on a
couple styles instead of a half the heavier genre types. Parts are
comparable to Godsmack, Black Sabbath, Body Count, POD and 3 Doors
Down. Not for your avid metal fan, but good for what it is. To bad
I review things from the metal point of view. Don’t get me wrong,
some tracks are catchy and have metal qualities, but most of it is
pretty much a generic sound. They know how to write but, once again,
its generic. It’s almost a stale sound that cause it sounds
like so many other bands. Basically, it feels like a local garage
band in many ways. The vocals remind me a little of Violent J from
ICP, but range a little more than what he does. Some of the lyrics
are pretty bad, even laughable though. A few songs have a lot of feeling
but also I found the generic sound making me dose off. Dog Faced Gods
“Stoned Council” has a lot of decent parts, some decent
tracks, but mostly it’s the some old thing. Rating: 66 |
