Transistor Revival is a newer project from Glenn Rowlands and Robert Powell. The tone, lyrics and music are much darker than most of their past projects. Loud guitars, catchy hooks, and memorable melodies are still present. The name of the album/project seems to be rooted in a series of dramas of the same name. It would be interesting to see what kind of drama would go along with this kind of music. With song titles like “Blood Stained Hands,” “Cyclotron Curse,” and “Hordes Of Hellish Flies” – you know that those had to be some interesting dramas. As a long term fan of Rowlands music, I can tell that he has been practicing and pushing himself to get better with each release. Not that he wasn’t good in the past, but you can tell he is growing as an artist. The heaviness continues through ten songs until the album closer “Jesus” – a worship song that sounds like it was recorded spontaneously live. Overall, another strong effort from the musical team of Rowlands and Powell.
