Live Concert Review, Assembly Line Gods, Ramada Oasis

   Fire from heaven is burning bright in the form of Assembly Line Gods who are blazing the way into the rock arena of alternative metal.

     ALG will melt your face off with grungy riffs, funky bass, passionate percussion and seductive growls one minute, while wooing you with complex and melodious lyrics the next. Lighting up the music scene in a way you never expected, this band pulls it off without sounding too harsh or thrashy, and delivers hard rock with a melancholic edge.

     David Samples' smooth vocals pour out like molten honey, calming any a rock-weary soul looking for a fresh sound in a saturated genre. Josh Kroeger, bass, and Bronson Cox, lead guitar, play with power and Carson Underwood, percussion, slams his set with god-like force in every song, mixing the typical metal sound with intense diversity.

     Lighting up the stage, this band has high energy and movement: Samples dances around the stage with wild abandonment or theatrical showmanship reminiscent of Jim Morrison from The Doors and Kroeger whips his hair around in heavy metal fashion. Both cast off their shirts, much to the crowd's delight, while Cox nods to their fans with a naughty gleam and a wicked grin, and Underwood rolls his sticks in perfect precision.

     The only thing lacking from their live performance was the additional dynamics and entertainment quality that comes from group interaction, something that seasoned bands capitalize on; however, there was none lacking when it came to rocking and entreating the crowd where their passion, energy, and pure raw talent takes over.

     If there is such a thing as a rock heaven, then Assembly Line Gods are the gate-keepers ushering rockers to a new alternative experience. Simply put a talented band that we'll be hearing more from in the future as their fans excitedly wait for their new CD release.
