Sydonia
With a fanbase that includes Slipknot and Lamb Of God, Melbourne band Sydonia's new album, Reality Kicks, is impressively accessible. Known for their heavy sound and lead singer Dana Roskvist's soaring vocals, which are all over the album, standout tracks here include the heavy Shame, the softer acoustic tone of the title track and the lyrically sombre, yet sonically uplifting Drag You Out. Wheels is the highlight, dark yet ultimately a moving love song. This release should ensure that Sydonia are exposed to a wider audience, proving their versatility by producing an inspiring and atmospheric album.
