Dirty Rockers – From Hell (2014)

With a name like DIRTY ROCKERS it is very easy to catch the attention of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal fans, but to live up to the attention and expectation isn’t as easy as it looks, and boy DIRTY ROCKERS do it with a great deal of success. Without much help from the Internet regarding the band, I set out to dig these rockers, and boy they did impress me!

Blasting traditional Hard Rock and Heavy Metal all throughout the album, ‘From Hell’ struck me in awe right from the first song “To Rock Is Evil”, the band catches your imagination with its strong riff based music. If you are a fan of Heavier Hard Rock and Traditional Heavy Metal, rest assured this album will be your companion for a very long time. Filled with air guitaring riffs and catchy lyrics, the music reminds me of bands like AC/DC, GUNS N ROSES, AIRBOURNE, though I must mention DIRTY ROCKERS has something unique in its veins. The most impressive part of these rockers like the aforementioned bands, they create free flowing and catchy music, without sacrificing the quality of it. Though not all the songs are as impressive as the first song, ‘From Hell’ is an album worth your time and even will stay on your playlists for long period with songs having cheesy names (reminding you of MANOWAR) like “R IP (Rot In Peace)”, “We Saved Rock’n’Roll”. The album brings out the very essence of Rock music of just enjoying the life while rocking.

While the band will do a lot of good for itself if it markets its music a bit more as I found it very difficult to find the info on the history of the band online, the production here is impressive with the vocals giving a feeling that it was recorded in a huge empty room. While ‘From Hell’ does not offer anything ground breaking and sensational, but it’s an album worth your time if you have a rocker in you!
