On Feb. 10, Sages will release their new album Sleepwalker. This Sacramento, California based band delivers heavy experimental rock sounds. With a large dose of driving guitars, head banging percussion and accessible vocals – these five gentlemen create a whirlwind.
Sleepwalker opens with “What the Hell.” The quiet start to this cut is quickly upset by what sounds like a gun loading. Slow but dense and reverberating rhythms then pull listeners in, while higher vocals play across the top. This is a strong opening track from Sages, which draws audiences in with an immersive feel. While full of emotion and metal-leanings, there is nothing messy about “What the Hell” – demonstrating maturity it composition.
“With You” and “Sleepwalker” come up next on this record. With a palpable and heavy electronic feel, both are surprisingly alternative radio-ready. Though not without serrated edges, these tracks showcases the softer side of Sages lyrically. These songs weave in moments of almost ambient or ethereal tones, ensuring that the record does not become monotone.
