Moros Eros - I Saw The Devil Last Night And Now The Sun Shines Bright

Moros Eros exploded into my world mid last year and have spent the majority of my time rocking my ears for the most part of 2008. I picked this record up purely because of the sticker on the cover art citing Mars Volta, Modest Mouse and some other band as influences. Do they sound like these bands? No. Are they any good? Yes they are.

Moros Eros have this awesome energy driven by the rhythm section of the band. Much like The Kinison or Bear Vs Shark - this rhythm section never fails to hit the spot and hold everything tightly together. Pair these dynamics up with quite an energetic and interesting vocalist and punchy guitar riffs from all sorts of angles and you get the lovable, danceable and sing at the top of your lungs music that this album shines with. Perfect for driving or rocking in your room - i havn't found a reason to not listen to these guys yet.

The drumming on When I Wake is superb and lfows from speaker to speaker with clarity and depth while the catchy chorus of Satan Has A Heart of Gold could go on forever in your head. If i were to be picky, the album would be a little to short at just under 40 mintues, but maybe that's why the thing is so darn good from start to finish....
