REVIEW: Plutonium Orange - Waiting For The Gun Self-financed, 2002
8/10
Plutonium Orange - Waiting For The Gun - cover art Who said that heavy music has to be morbid or depressing? Plutonium Orange is melodic rock at it's best with a sound that can be compared at first listen to a modern day Rush. Their music has a fresh feel to it and shows a huge amount of style and variety, which can be attributed to the member’s backgrounds ranging from prog rock to death metal. Waiting for the Gun is the bands 3rd demo and it really showcases the band maturing in songwriting and music. The album starts off with the high-speed track “Unstable/Unreal” and goes to the next track (My favorite) “Bend” which slows it down a little more, with a more melancholic vibe but still the same overall atmosphere. The next two tracks; "Waiting for the Gun" and "Going Under" have a very similar feel and tone to the other tracks which could possibly be the only gripe on the entire demo. This gripe is menial when compared to the display of musicianship and overall production on the album, which are both superior. Every song is filled with crunchy guitars and crisp percussion and the unique vocal style brings the songs a life of their own. All and all Plutonium Orange is a breath of fresh air and it is nice to see a band doing something original. It will be interesting to see what the Finnish "Plutonium rockers" have in store for us next. One could only suspect that this band will only get better and better with anything that they do and it is only fair to say that Plutonium Orange will soon be playing at a radio station near you. For any additional information including other demos and full MP3 downloads be sure to visit their website.
