Enter The Storm is the latest full-length album for this the Canadian band, This 16-track album is filled with uplifting bass and guitars, pumped vocals with trouncing drums which was all written and performed by Leko. The album follows the popular “Watching The Girls Go Bi” which took the US College radio stations by storm; I see no problem with a repeat performance.
Leko changes it up for this album; it is the same Richard Leko skills only slightly semi-edged out. It’s more Foo Fighters with a blend of Nirvana and a side dish of twisted Depeche Mode. Clearly one can hear it in “Control” raw vocals, mellow-savvy guitars and b-kicking drums.
The eye-turn on is “You Can Have It All”, Leko shows his more mellowed side well as mellow as one can get. Still the heaviness of the drums and guitars play throughout this track however, lyrically it’s a soothing the beast combination. As well as with the track “Motorcade” with an old plimpy 70’s guitar feel (only guitarists know that phrase) “Motorcade was a pleasant experience, perfect timing on the drum chorus, Leko vocals are on key, still utmost rawness but they don’t over power this track. “Back Down” has a System of the Down feel at the starting gate after that, it goes to left field in a good way. The drum-bass are on the money, added note – I think Animal from The Muppets joined the band and is jamming on the drums (yes, Animal is a cool drummer).
Of course knowing BROOMFILLER, they always (in most cases) have a bonus track…a teaser for the fans. Just when you think it is over the thunder kicks in more and the storm ‘enters’ with roaring Tokyo Drift drums, fiery guitars soaks everything in sight, as quickly as it began it ends, the skies open up and the drums and guitar begin to sing as to birds do after the passing of the rain.
