Following up on their 2020 debut 'Razzle Dazzle', French duo Blackbird Hill have spent the pandemic bringing their baritone guitar down a notch. When you are a duo making rock, it means your guitar (or bass) has to channel both sides of the spectrum - weight and melody. For 'Embers in the Dark' this meant lower tuning and bigger amps. The duo wanted a bigger, sludgier and a more gravelly sound. That's exactly what the listeners get.

Songs like 'Flatline' evoke the very best of that era. Big riffs. Crunchy guitars. An in-studio echo to the drums and vocals as if they've been lifted from a live session. There is an element of old-school chugging rock to the riffs but they are anthemic and loud. For instance 'Beat the Retreat' reminds of Soundgarden's 'The Day I Tried to Live' as it has the same off-kilter mid-riff slide. Blackbird Hill gives it a T-Rex/Thin Lizzy high octave solo edge though so it sounds very different and like grunge does 70's rock.

What Blackbird Hill does so well with this album is merge different periods of rock together.
