Stone Sonic is a Hard Rock / Heavy Metal Band from Hayward, in Northern California. Stone Sonic has a unique retro sound that is a blend from the 1980’s and the 2010’s. The music has a Queensryche flavor that meets Stone Temple Pilots combined with Velvet Revolver and then had unprotected sex with The Cult.
The Stone Sonic band members started as Deleon in the 1990’s with Gerry de Leon as the lead singer. Over the years the band evolved and then finally disbanded in the late 90’s. in 2008 the core group of writers and musicians from Deleon came together for a reunion concert at the SaddleRack nightclub in Fremont, CA.

ARRAYAN PATH – IRA IMPERIUM (2011)
Dec 2, 2011 21:52
Heavy Metal |Power Metal
How much of a good thing is too much? Arrayan Path returns with their third album,Ira Imperium, with 13, count them, tracks of melodic and epic power metal. Thankfully, as in the case of their previous album, Arrayan Path is quite good at what they do. Nevertheless, my ultimate question with this album was, 'What are they doing, the third time out, that distinguishes them from whole European power metal pack?' Persistence and consistency in their craft, while important, aren't enough.
Nevertheless, against my reluctant speculation (or criticism), there are some noteworthy moments here. Before speaking to those, there seems to be a loose theme running through these songs: many relate to legend, history, and mythology. Certainly, these themes are the makings of classic power metal. This leads to the first of several notable songs: K(C)atherine of Aragon, the first, and most significant, of Henry VIII's six wives. This piece is heavier than expected, but remains epic. The segue at 2' 30" with the addition of female bgvs over lighter guitar and drums add significant color.
Above, Arrayan Path: a six man powerhouse of epic and melodic power metal.
For more melodic (and fast) heavy metal with some big hooks and a clever groove, both Ira Imperium and 77 Days Til Doomsday are two more notable songs on Ira Imperium. Honestly, the latter, with the lyrical hooks and strong vocal arrangement, is quite inspired.
The final notable songs are at the end. The Fall of Mardonius reminds of the pattern that Iron Maiden gave to this genre. It's epic and diverse, and has a strong male choral background vocal arrangement. The bonus track weighs against the heavy and fast paced power metal motif, offering a lighter arrangement: mostly vocals with pianos, synths, and carefully dramatic drums. Yet, it fits and, as a part of the whole, makes the entire album more pleasing.
Don't get me wrong here. Every song on Ira Imperium stands on its own, offering its own definitive characteristics. Generally, and perhaps significantly, this is, once more, Arrayan Path's strength: persistence and consistency in the abundance of their creative output. Thirteen songs of well-crafted melodic power metal? Over an hour's worth of tunes? It's hard to quibble with that.
Recommended, even if it's more of the same.

Da frage ich mich doch mal echt, wer ist denn Joe Mizzi? Habe ich noch nie etwas von gehört, auch von den Bands in denen –der auf Malta geborene Sänger- bisher unterwegs war, höchsten mal irgendwo etwas gelesen. 1987 nach Deutschland übergesiedelt und dort dann in der Kölner Hardrock-Band High`n Dry gesungen. Möglicherweise hat sich der ein oder andere Inside schon mal mit dieser Band beschäftigt. Bei dem Eternal Journey-Projekt von Alex Papatheodorou hatte Joe Mizzi auch die Vocals übernommen, da klingelt es dann doch bei mir.
Nun macht Joe Mizzi seit einigen Jahren in seinem Heimstudio sein eigens Ding und hat nun mit „Angels Fall“ seine dritte CD fertig gestellt. Ich gebe zu, das in seinem Info ein Bezug auf Marc Storace (Krokus) genommen wird hatte mich nicht unbedingt animiert, doch das war lediglich auf die Herkunft bezogen. Denn Stimmlich haben die beiden rein gar nichts gemeinsam. Joe klingt nicht wie ein Brian Johnson, sondern verfügt über eine kräftige und dunkle Hardrock-Stimme. Erinnert mich dann doch hin und wieder an den verstorbenen Ray Gillen (Badlands).
Auf „Angels Fall“ widmet man sich dem klassischen Hard`n Heavy-Sound. Also die Musik pendelt zwischen Hardrock und melodischem Heavy Metal in etwa wie Pretty Maids, DIO, Cornerstone, aber auch Iron Maiden, und „neueren“ Hardrocker wie Stone Sour oder auch Audioslave –wenn es dann etwas härter wird. Gute Songs hat er auf dieser CD veröffentlicht und das Ganze klingt homogener und durchdachter –vor allem aber praller und druckvoller, als so manches AOR/Hardrock-Projekt das uns in den letzten unter die Nase geschubbert wurde.
Ein feinster Groover vom Schlage wie „Sacred Ground“ lässt mich auch an Blue Murder denken, hier dampft es dann mächtig. Die Gitarren stehen im Vordergrund machen mächtig Alarm und dann die starke Stimme…Yes!! Mehr davon…weiter so…Joe Mizzi lässt sich nicht lumpen und legt mit „False Paradise“ noch einen deftigen Brikett nach.
Auch bei den Gitarrensolos, die sich ins Ohr schrauben –aber nie in aufdringliches Gedudel ausarten, geht der Daumen nach oben.
Eigentlich ein Gag, das so eine CD wie „Angels Fall“ nur über die Band bzw. den Künstler selber zu bekommen ist und sich kein Label drum schert. Doch, das dort auf den Ohren gehockt wird, das wissen wir ja nun nicht erst seit gestern. Guckt auch auf jeden Fall mal bei http://reverbnation.com/joeym59 um und rein.
