Peacemaker – The Reconstruction of the Ossicular Chain EP
Red Rocket Entertainment
(4/5)
Just when you think Rock could be at the end of its rope and not have much new material left to offer, it’s always nice to find a newer band that proves you wrong. Peacemaker’s EP The Reconstruction of the Ossicular Chain proves that they are one of those bands. With the mix of mainstream Hard rock, a little bit of Southern flavor, and a dash of Stoner rock grit all thrown into a blender, Peacemaker is a great band in my book. Getting right into it, with 4 songs on this EP, it’s hard to choose an overall favorite, but each song does bring a similar sound, but their own individual qualities as well. For example, “Trip the Light Fantastic” (Track 2) has a fairly similar groove to the other 3 tracks, but it’s the only song on this EP that really slows down to a Pink Floyd-like softness/groove that includes a guitar solo that drips with emotion. There are other great solos, but none that slow down like that particular one.
Overall, Peacemaker has a great sound and their EP The Reconstruction of the Ossicular Chain is a great example of it. I recommend this band to anyone who likes straight forward Hard rock with Southern and Stoner groove to it and I can’t wait to hear the full length album that comes from this EP!
