Cry Hosanna!
Reviewed by Doug Van Pelt
Here's a hard-rockin' demo with some decent production. Guitarists Tyrone and Chris Williamson do some good guitar pickin'. "Seasons" features a Rush-style series of sudden chords played by the band and then silenced; where the drummer hits his cymbal in synch with the band and grabs the cymbal to silence the sound each time. Overall, the musicianship is pretty hot on this 3-song tape. The only thing holding the music back is the vocal quality, which would fit well with real heavy drudge rock or speed metal - but not as well with this progressive, commercial hard rock. For ordering info, write: Tyrone Williamson, 33 Kenneth Place, Apt. 6, Oceanside NY 11572.
