CYDIA “Evil Sun”

CYDIA
“Evil Sun”
(Metal Scrap Records)
Taking risks are a part of life. Play it safe and you’ll never know what awaits you around the corner. Cydia might be thrash metal but they have the guts to not play it safe and go for the note by note routine. That makes “Evil Sun” so much more interesting. That I hear second wave thrash metal references as well as some patented Pantera metal only adds to the concoction. There is a vitality to Cydia that I like. And although not original in any sense the combined influences makes this interesting. I like that I can hear tons of different influences and that they combined make for a new sound. I also like that Cydia use their native tongue to sing in. It adds to the overall impression and gives the music a different edge. Anders Ekdahl
