The Bomb (These Sounds Fall Into My Mind)



The Dutch stoner/hardrock band ‘Sun Rider’ released (October, 2014) their debut album “Fuzz Mountain”. In February they decided to release the album in whole Europe! Pitkings got hold on this psychedelic underground rock album. Tessa wrote a review about it. About Sun Rider: Sun Rider is a Dutch band with over fifteen years of experience. They played as a band called ‘headhaunter’, but decided to change to stoner rock renaming themselves as Sun Rider. With influences of QOTSA and Truckfighters, they’re ready to take over the world with their first album with label Electric Valley Records. Fuzz Mountain The seven songs-length album starts with ‘Heart Of The Sun’. This song contains a lot of guitar and it becomes clear what the true sound of Sun Rider is. The heavy rock fills your room in no time and you’ll be blown away by the strong music. The second song, ‘High Priestess Of The Moon’, is a lot calmer. Harsh vocals dominate the song and smooth backings accompany. The fourth song is ‘Free Ride’. It’s also a calmer song. Still the guitars are very strong and the voice of Michael Philippo are fully appreciated. You can hear the fun in this song, which makes it better. Escape To Fuzz Mountain is the last song of the album. This song is a kind of sum up of the whole album. It’s a good ending of the album, because of the alternation in the song. Again the vocals are fully appreciated and even the guitars have got their moment. With over fifteen years of experience playing heavy music together in the same line-up, the five piece Sun Rider is finally ready to unleash their debut album. Before making the transition to stoner rock, the band was known as Headhaunter. They plagued stages throughout western Europe and Poland with their frantic mix of hardcore and metal. They never lost this energetic attitude towards their live shows but their musical influences changed and under the new moniker Sun Rider they are planning to conquer the hearts and minds of all those who love stoner rock, fuzzy guitar sounds, insane riffs, desert blues and breakneck grooves.
