Angus Khan – Black Leather Soul

If you're still stuck in the 60's, 70's, and even the 80's, and still can't get enough of Classic Rock and that raw Rock N Roll vibe of bands like AC/DC and Motorhead, Angus Khan is ready to slam you with their sound and presence. Angus Khan's "Black Leather Soul", released through Nickel and Dime Records, has reassured old school rock fans that their beloved genre is far from dead. Angus Khan revives the old sounds Rock N Roll, yet incorporates their own distinct styles and attitudes, giving any willing listener a familiar recipe enhanced with new spices and flavors, and ultimately delivering a taste so divine, you won't know what hit you... or in Angus Khan's case, what KICKED your ass!

"Black Leather Soul" is an album that while maintains the influences of Classic Rock, also possesses variety and a style all its own. One example of this is is the band's cover of "Midnight Moses", originally performed by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band. The song takes a complete change from the original, and as the first track song on the album, successfully reels you in so strongly that the rest of the album cannot be left unheard. Other songs migrate away from the loud in-your-face vibes Angus Khan upholds, like "Silver and Green", which upholds a slower tempo, yet manages to still provide a rhythm you can bang your head to. The different techniques in each song ultimately illustrate the band's talent and how their skills and creativity were able to pull off such a diverse and powerful album.

Angus Khan's "Black Leather Soul" is an absolute winner and choice if you're debating on what to try next. With an aggressively wild attitude, and fast paced Rock N Roll tunes behind them, Angus Khan is ready to annihilate you with an album so fierce, even Chuck Norris won't be able to get out of this one.
