Giant Horizon are a very obscure band from Sopron , Hungary
"Astronaut"
has all the typical things I dig about the genre... attitude, riffs and
charisma. Plenty of tempo changes a few psychedelic break-downs. Good, but not
too overdone vocals, and just a bit of that southern seasoning thrown in for
good measure. Did I mention riffs? Giant Horizon's bag of riffs seems to have
no bottom, pulling out a non-stop barrage of head bobbing, foot stomping
barnstormers. These guys know their Sabbath, Kyuss and Down albums well, and
wear their influences on their sleeves.
"Astronaut"
boasts 13 tracks and clocks in at just over an hour of listening time. During
that time, it never loses its hold on your head. Most albums I hear these days
have one or two songs that grab my attention, and the rest of the album is lost
between the sheets. Giant Horizon have a real impressive debut on their hands
here. For a young band just starting out, I think we could be hearing alot more
from these guys. At least I hope so.
