On their major-label debut, RED SUN RISING give buzzing hard rock and post-grunge a fresh coat of paint while resisting pigeonholing. "Push" and "Awake" surge forward on the strength of bruising, bulldozing riffs, while the hypnotic, twinned harmonies of "The Otherside" conjure the Pacific Northwest's guttural sonics. Polyester Zeal's effortless diversity is even more prominent on "Bliss," a muscular power ballad with a mystical acoustic guitar intro, as well as on the gnarled, space-prog epic "Unnatural."
