Druk'n'roll are a band from Ukraine that plays a very symphonic form of metal mixed in with some thrash and death metal influences and this is a review of their 2012 album "On The Knife" which was released by Metal Scrap Records.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with some blast beats being thrown into the music, while the keyboards bring in a very dark and symphonic sound to the music, as for the bass playing it has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that is coming out of the guitars and at times they have a powerful sound to them.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast riffs that combine traditional, symphonic, thrash, and death metal together to create a sound of their own in addition there is a good amount of hard rock influences in the music as well as some clean playing, while the lead guitars are very melodic and skilled sounding heavy metal/hard rock guitar solos and leads, as for the acoustic guitars they use finger picking to bring an 80's hard/rock sound to the music, in addition there is a brief use of slide guitar playing being used on one song.
Vocals are a mixture of normal and rough clean singing vocals mixed in with some death metal growls, while the lyrics cover everyday themes, as for the production it has a very strong, powerful and heavy sound to it.
In my opinion Druknroll are a very great sounding symphonic heavy metal/hard rock/death metal hybrid and if you are looking for something that is different, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Face To Face" "Live Outlaw" "On The Knife Blade" and "Whirl By Cloud". RECOMMENDED BUY.
