Sons of Venus deliver a stunning musical journey in "Crisis To Crisis"

"Crisis To Crisis (Album)" by Sons of Venus

Crisis To Crisis is a daring and adventurous album by Sons of Venus, a band that always pushes the boundaries of experimentation and innovation. The album displays the band’s eclectic musical influences and talents, spanning from progressive rock to punk to ambient. The album was created in a unique way: composer John Sully crafted the vocals, guitars and keyboards in his home studio, and then shared the tracks with drummer Ruslan Baimurzin and bassist Igor Reznik for adding their own touches. 
The outcome is a fusion of accuracy and spontaneity that gives the album a distinctive sound and feel. The album is also a mirror of the band’s social and political consciousness, as they address the issues of global crises, media distortion and existential dread. The songs are potent and provocative, with catchy melodies, intricate rhythms and atmospheric effects. Songs like Living in Blood, World on Fire and Dead Languages are especially striking and impactful, as they transport the listener to the dark and chaotic world that the band portrays. 
Crisis To Crisis is an album that stimulates and gratifies the listener with its originality and intensity. It is an album that merits to be heard by anyone who values creative and meaningful music.
