Brand New Sin's "Recipe for Disaster" is pure hard rock the way it should be. Hailing from Syracuse, New York, Brand New Sin's blusey sound and soulful vibe is a refreshing alternative for those who may be tired of the recent trend of "metal-core" and are looking for some good 'ol hard rock with a ballsy edge. The riffs are kept simple but there are some blazing solos to be found here, and the southern rock influenced vocals and tempos will keep you coming back for more. Standout tracks include "The Loner", the blazing "Black and Blue", and "Dead Man Walking" among others, but there's not a weak track to be found here. All in all, if you're a fan of Black Label Society, Corrosion of Conformity, Down, or older hard rock/metal with a southern/blusey vibe, then you should definitely give Brand New Sin a look.
