Bison B.C.
Dark Ages
4.5/5
Listen To: Wendigo Pt. 3 (Let Him Burn)
Skip It: Nothing
All you headbangers better be excited, East Van’s Bison B.C. is back with their third full-length album Dark Ages.
“Stressed Elephant” settles you in, building energy with a melodic exposé before getting your head banging to a crash-along chugging match, upholding slick guitar leads and demonic vocals. The song fades with a bluesy acoustic guitar reappearing in “Melody, This is For You” and “Wendigo Pt. 3 (Let Him Burn).”
Dark Ages also showcases Bison’s knack for uniquely calculated breakdowns, like in “Fear Cave” which drops the tempo for over 2 minutes with a masterful power chord structure and the album’s best hell-growls.
The electrifying guitar riffs of “Two-Day Booze” grab your attention, pulling you along a ride of tempo changes from lightning fast to mere tricklings of a ride-cymbal. The anthem-like chants of What are we waiting for over a rejuvenating power-chord melody brings chills to your spine.
You have to love the old school heavy-metal foundation of Bison as well. The rockin’ guitar harmonies in “Die of Devotion” and the sharp-tooth pick-squeals of “Take The Next Exit” will arouse the Iron Maiden fan in all of us.
The album ends with “Windigo Pt. 3 (Let Him Burn)” displaying accredited musicianship through massively heavy riffs, in the standard style which can only be labeled Bison-esque. Dark Ages is a polished effort effectively displaying the untamed enthusiasm of Bison B.C.’s intimidating prowess.
