Staring at the Son 
Artist: SonX  
Label: Indie 
Time: 12/51:50 
 
SonX is a three-piece Gospel hard rock band from southern Wisconsin.They've been together about four years. Their music, as they say, "has an in-your-face approach to presenting the Gospel"--the songs are all very Christ-centered, such as "People of the Night":  
    Jesus loves the people of the night 
    To take away the wrong and make it right 
    To bring them out of darkness into light 
    Jesus loves the people of the night
The music is made up of a mixture of styles, including metal, 70's rock, and blues but leans toward the heavy end. The blues elements and the vocals are weak; they should stay with the heavier side of their style.  The solo tracks work the best--the group ones seem to be poorly mixed; they need to be farther back in the mix. The production is adequate. This isn't a great album, but it is okay.  There are sound bites on their website--if  you like your music heavy, give this site a visit and judge for yourself.
