Review of “War Gods of the Deep”
Chicago’s rock scene is no stranger to iconic sounds and powerful stage presence, but few bands have arrived with as much energy and musical depth as War Gods of the Deep. Since bursting onto the scene in 2016, this band has crafted a sound that embodies the raw energy of classic hard rock and the intricate melodies of heavy metal, a blend that calls to mind the best of both eras. Fronted by the talented musician and producer Rikk Currence, War Gods of the Deep is more than just a band—it’s a sonic experience that dives headfirst into the heart of rock music’s finest qualities.
Currence, the visionary at the band’s helm, has infused his love for classic rock with a modern twist that feels fresh yet deeply rooted in the genre’s golden age. Each song is a journey, channeling everything from roaring guitar riffs to haunting vocal harmonies that speak to the soul of rock fans both seasoned and new. Currence’s ability to create powerful, memorable music is on full display with the band, which embraces the raw spirit of hard rock, echoing the time when heavy metal was both revered and reviled, and comic books were synonymous with rebellion.
War Gods of the Deep’s dedication to their music is almost palpable. Where many modern rock acts seek to blend genres or soften their approach for broader appeal, this band stands firmly on the bedrock of traditional rock values. Their music celebrates the untamed spirit of rock’s heyday—when lyrics were bold, guitars were the heroes of every song, and heavy metal represented defiance. Listening to War Gods of the Deep, you’re reminded of a time when bands like KISS, Metallica, Iron Maiden, and Queen ruled the airwaves, and their influence is tastefully present in the music.
One of the standout moments in their catalog is the album “Action Space Battle”, hailed by rock critic “Metal Mark” Garcia for its unapologetic fusion of glam metal, hard rock, and heavy metal influences. Tracks like “Sons of the Serpent” and “Light of Your Soul” carry an emotional weight and fierce melody that make you feel every riff and chorus. These songs evoke an era when rock was both an art form and a way of life, capturing the raw, gritty essence that defines true rock ‘n’ roll.
War Gods of the Deep isn’t just a band; it’s a journey through rock’s rich history and an exploration of its boundless future. Their music is an invitation to dive into the cosmic depths of rock with them—a call that’s impossible to ignore for anyone who considers themselves a true rock enthusiast. As they continue to evolve and release new music, it’s clear that War Gods of the Deep is here to make waves and pay homage to the unbreakable allure of rock music.
