This post's artist is from the April 2013 Mix, this is track #5:
With a band name taken from the original Conan: The Barbarian movie, how could this band not be good? Click on Arnold's biceps to see the movie clip - it's at the 1:16 mark:
RIDDLE OF STEEL played a great mix of intricate mathy rock/pop. Soft and driving vocals are layered nicely over some pretty nifty dual riffing. Catchy, mathematical and referencing Conan? If you read my last post, ->which you can check out here<-, you know I'm a sucker for complex music and movie references.
2001 - Burn
2003 - Python
2004 - Split w/Dakota/Dakota (members of Russian Circles) (PURCHASE HERE)
2005 - Got This Feelin'
2008 - 1985
It wasn't until after 'Python' that RIDDLE OF STEEL really hit their stride. As good as '1985' is, 'Got This Feelin'' is the superior album, so I would suggest picking that up first - but anything from 2004-2008 is killer.
Members from this band and Dakota/Dakota became Russian Circles after this, who will be reviewed on this blog in due time.
