"The Aftermath" is an impressive release from Swedish rockers Urbandux, showcasing their unique blend of modern rock and metal, with secondary elements of pop and progressive rock further enhancing their appeal. The band's emotion, conviction, and dedication to their craft are evident from the first note. The entire album is characterized by an aggressive, powerful sound featuring spirited lead vocals, wonderful harmonies and melodies, thunderous guitar work, solid bass lines and pounding, inventive drumming. Notable tracks such as "Seltzer Water," "Sitting Target" and "The Art Of Isolating" all feature their trademark hammering guitar riffs and hard-rocking sound. The title track "The Aftermath" is a definite highlight, with a captivating hook that is ready for mainstream rock radio. Although most of the songs feature blistering guitar work, the other instruments play a vital role in the group's sound as well. Listen to the creative drumming on such tracks as "Dios ha Muerto" and "Bozo," where percussive rhythmic colors are interspersed with heavy guitar lines and smooth vocals. The soulful, melodic "Miranda" provides a serene and relaxed feel, showcasing both their versatility and their ability to also shine with meaningful ballads. If you enjoy intelligently written, high-energy, fantastic heart-pounding modern rock, "The Aftermath" is for you. E
