(Hamarr Records) 2016.
CD
Heavy metal/hard rock – USA
Out of Columbus, IN comes a power trio Viken. They started out in 2014, and during the May of previous year, released an album with 9 tracks, in, entitled “Reduced To Ash”.
Viken are influential with old school variants, and some traces in its sound leads to 80’s and 90’s period as well. In the other hand, they are pretty rough and unpolished, with strong riffing motorization in the back. “Reduced To Ash” consists of similar songs qualities and interesting arrangement including in some parts as well.
