It was 7:45 PM. The entire day had been full of torrential rainfall and potholes converted into puddles. However, sunset comes late now that we’re nearing the summer solstice and Helios decided to give us a little visit before he rested for the night. So now, at quarter of eight, as I walk into Higher Ground in South Burlington, VT, I can see a faint rainbow. Any symbolism in that? You tell me.

This is a fantastic album from an up-and-coming band who can only get better with time. While it’s easy to think that Black Tusk a clone or knock-off of similar bands from the same area, you’d be doing them a grave disservice if you didn’t listen to this album from start to finish. “Taste The Sin” is easily one of my picks for 2010

Big Ball is a German band that has a very, very strong AC/DC influence in their sound. At first, I thought that they were a glorified cover/club band but after a few listens, it may be fair to say that they just enjoy aping the AC/DC sound in more of a manner of tribute than out-right ripoff.

Altogether, “Mulmets Viser” is impressive considering the circumstances. I can see a lot of rising potential with this group in albums to come. Cheers!
