Budderside – Spiritual Violence (2021) Review
Spiritual Violence album review (English)
Budderside released their second album named Spiritual Violence at the end of the March this year. After five years of waiting the guys are back with a set of fantastic ten new songs. There are a lot of new bands these days that can be heard all around the world bringing the redefined modern sound of a classic rock, but there are only a few who manage to put it on another level. And yes, Budderside are definitely one them. From the roaring opener Wide Awake it is clear that this is not just another hard rock album. Guitarists Sam Bam Koltun and Logan Nikolic are delivering highly electrified riffs that are clearly influenced by some of the best known artists from past 30 years. Added to that, what really put this album even higher is a perfect bland of Patrick Stone’s amazingly sinister vocals. The next song called Zen is a perfect example of that. With Budderside every next song is just so unexpectedly interesting.
There are some collaborations here like in the third song Amber Alert (feat Carla Harvey from Butcher Babies, and in fourth Pardon Me, with the great Motorhead axeman Phil Campbell joining. Up until the very end of this record the Budderside guys are not dissatisfying their fans. Especially with the tunes like Soul Searches and Daygobah.
Overall it is a must have album if you are into pure modern hard rock music. Budderside’s influences differ from the likes the 80’s LA glam metal, Guns N Roses/Velvet Revolver type high octane rock n roll to the grungy depths of Seattle’s 90’s scene. It’s a remarkable blanding of sounds and influences. In a perfect world, this album would definitely top all the charts, sell millions of records (streams) and Budderside would totally be one the hottest bands in the world right now. Plus, they are from LA, they heave it in their veins!

Spiritual Violence recenzija na sprskom
Losanđeleska hard rock petorka Budderside obajvila je krajem marta meseca svoj drugi album u karijeri pod nazivom Spiritual Violence, koji dolazi posle ravno pet godina od izdavanja njihovog Self Titled prvenca. O grupi smo već detaljno pričali u predstaljvanju, tako da ako ste to kojim slučajem propustili, obavezno pročitajte pre nego što nastavite a ovom recenzijom.
Spiritual Violence izdat je za, kao i abum prvenac uostalom, za izdavačku kuću Motorhead Music, koju je osnovao pokojni Lemmy i koja je i lansirala ovaj mladi bend u muzičku orbitu. Za producenta ovog izdanja Budderside su izabrali Jay Baumgardner-a koji je od ranije poznat po radu sa bendovima poput Bush, Godsmack i Papa Roach.
Na albumu se nalazi deset novih numera i ukoliko bi smo ih uporedili sa pesmama sa prvog izdanja, kojih je takođe bilo deset, može se reći da su ovoga puta Budderside odlučili da se drže isključivo jednog kursa. Na prvom albumu bilo je dosta lutanja dok je Spiritual Violence striktno hard-rokerski orijentisan. Međutim, kao što što smo i rekli u predstavljanju benda, hard rock koji ovi momci prezentuju sadrži u sebi primese raznih drugih muzičkih pravaca, posebno onih alternativnijih, tako da ovo definitivno nije samo još jedan običan bend. Numere popur Wide Awake, Zen i Daygobah to i dokazuju. Na samom albumu bilo je i nekoliko gostiju. Phil Campbell svirao je na pesmi Pardon Me, dok je pevačica grupe Butcher Babies Carla Harvey gostovala je na numeri Amber Alert.
Visoko-oktanski rock rifovi, pevljivi refreni, melodije ispresecane zlokobnim muzičkim primesama, šljunkoviti vokal frontmena Patrick Stone-a i nesvakidašnja alternativna rešenja, samo su neke od etiketa koje bi smo ovom bendu mogli da prilepimo. Možda i najbitnija od svih stvari, koja važi za gotovo sve pesme koje su do sada izdali, jeste neka vrsta diversifikacije koja vas na kraju svake pesme ostvalja u rebusu: šta očekivati od prve sledeće? Možda je caka sa grupom Budderside upravo u tome.
