Kingsnake - Book of Promise (2010) MP3 320

Kingsnake is a blues based power rock band from the Philadelphia area. Book of Promise is a full 40 minutes of jam packed and rocking songs. Madame Greed gets it started and it doesn’t end there. Feel Like Dying starts off almost like a delta blues song but quickly turns it up a few notches. The song reminds me a bit of Cypress Groove. The song Book of Promise is a lot mellower and slower tempo with a somewhat faster guitar solo to close the song. Light Bender is a cool instrumental song. Dying Working Man is a funky upbeat song with some catchy lyrics and my favorite song on the album.

The Clutch comparisons will always be there. The band did open up for The Bakerton Group before. J.P. Gastor (Clutch drmmer) did record a Live Session for Kingsnake a few years back and they even thank J.P. in the linear notes on the album. Even though the sound is similar to Clutch these guys are all them and not Clutch. This is a good solid album that I can see standing the test of time and eventually becoming a classic must have album.
