Bio:
The first line-up of the band consisted of: Roman, Wayne and H. The three brothers discovered the magic of music early on. Raised by their mother, the former director of the University of Music in Novosibirsk, and father, a professional musician; it goes without saying that the musical influence was inevitable.Roman, the eldest of the three, started playing the classical violine and piano at a young age. After migrating from Siberia to Germany he switched to the bass and started to sing.Wayne, the middle child, also kicked his musical education off playing the classical violine and the piano. He then discovered the electric guitar for himself and started singing.H., the youngest of the three, had no other choice but to submerge into the musical sphere. As the mother’s efforts were useless in teaching him a melodic instrument, he took the spot of drummer.Friends become brothers: The blood-trio becomes a four-headed supergroup.Since 2006 these guys have been rocking their way through several clubs and open-air festivals throughout Europe. Tireless, confident and always with a pinch of their zany humour in their flight case.Due to their Siberian roots, there has always been a deep connection to Shamanism. With the belief of spiritual connection to something greater than oneself but also a connection to everyone else they opened up to the idea of expanding their circle of trust and love.„Having played 15 years as a trio we have grown with our music. Just like life is in constant change, our sound spectrum is just as progressive. We realized that in order to create certain sounds the three of us were no longer enough. Even more so, considering the live shows. Having to rely on technology to be able to perform the songs the way we wanted to, was no longer an option. Thank God for Marc, who we’ve known for all our lives and who has also soaked up the magic of music from early on.” Marc Maurer, a producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, has been a long-time companion of the Sons of Sounds. Even prior to the band’s foundation Wayne and Marc played in several youth-bands. Attending school together, more or less successfully, also welded the two boys together. It became apparent that Marc had to take the place of the fourth brother. The musical level elevated to the next level of play from the rock-trio to the master-quartet. As a four-piece Heavy-Rock-ensemble the Sons unleash a bundle of energy characterized by unity, play-euphoria and the zest of life. The outcome is a loud, ceremonial, vivid rock-experience. With perfidious, avantgarde structured rock-hooks and more classic, Maiden-inspired musical arrangements, they gain fan by fan. YouTube Videos with far over 100.000 views and a continuously growing fanbase on Facebook and Instagram are proof of this. Even more apparent are the faces of the audience at a live concert.Their love for the stage makes it easy for the Sons to capture the audience’s attention. Whether on the Knock Out Festival along the side of Helloween and Pretty Maids, on the Rock of Ages along the side of Kim Wylde, Marillion and Saga or in a penal facility in front of prisoners - the Sons of Sounds transfer their powerful energy onto the crowds. The Sons are celebrated for their physical and mental exertion, for their show and for their songs.All of that is only possible when artists really love what they do. Just as a band can only make it to the top having understood what it means to stay true to their vision; turning friends into brothers.
Album:
The year is slowly coming to an end and the question arises as to whether and when it will be round the corner with its last musical highlights. The question is now partly answered: there's something new from SONS OF SOUNDS. The band, whose last two albums I was able to review in the garage and rate with a well-deserved nine out of ten stars, is back with album no. 7. It's called "Seven" and contains seven tracks with a playing time of just under half an hour.That's not a lot and in a time when you still had to pay money for albums, it might have disgruntled one or two fans. Therefore, the band would have had to add three filler tracks to the record and reviews would have criticised the fact that three out of ten songs are rather weak.Out it's 2023 and SONS OF SOUNDS have simply decided to release half an hour of compact and rich premium content.And they did it right.The sound of the record is unique in a good way and fits the music perfectly. Each instrument is handled with knowledge, virtuosity, talent and a love of music and detail, and the same applies to the vocals. And musically, "Seven" tops the two other albums I've heard from the band.All seven songs are not just good songs ("The chorus is great and I like the riff"). The compositions are outstanding, no two songs are the same, with great melody work and perfect band arrangements.This band not only knows its way around rock, but also has an enormous musical flair and a penchant for unconventional ideas, which it knows how to realise perfectly thanks to this flair.And for all that, "Seven" is an extremely easy album to listen to and enjoy - nothing for which you would need a degree in musicology. It's just even more fun when it's made by a band that thinks so little in terms of boundaries and sees so many possibilities in a genre where so many bands limit themselves to the standards.Yikes, my goodness, the last song is a little less catchy for my taste than the rest, but in this context that just means that I didn't mark it for the "recommended plays" section when I was taking notes, like I did the other six.Conclusion: SONS OF SOUNDS are a great band anyway and of the three (already very good) albums I've heard from them, "Seven" is easily the best. No lengths, compressed best entertainment, which was super realised in every respect. So, this is the Rock Garage. If you're reading this, "Seven" is an album for you.
