专辑简介

Heavy metal isnt rocket science. The genre's fundamental values and sonic staples may have been continually refined and redefined over the last four decades, but its core components remain the same as ever: volume, power, passion and imagination. And thats where BIG RED PANDA come in. While metals diversity has never been greater, there will always be something exhilarating about hearing a young band channelling the effervescent spirit of heavy musics founding fathers; adding enough of their own identity to side-step dead-eyed repetition, but always exhibiting a profound love for and understanding of what makes the best music engage, endure and enlighten. BIG RED PANDA's debut album "s/t" encapsulates that idea with exquisitely naturalistic fervour. This is sound of the past, present and future colliding in a shower of riffs, melodies and psychedelic magic. Drawn from a steady diet of Black Sabbath, Electric Moon or Earthless, the BIG RED PANDA sound is one that declares a sincere and unapologetic debt to the greats of a bygone era, but this is no lazy exercise in retro posturing. Instead, BIG RED PANDA conjures its own distinctive world of epic grandeur and gritty oomph via the dextrous weaving of ageless, hallowed ingredients and a jolting injection of contemporary exuberance and verve.
