Heroes & Zeros is a relatively new Norwegian band who were lucky enough to immediately get recognition in their native country along with one of the songs of their debut album being featured in “Fifa 2008”. They’re back now with “Simian Vices Modern Devices” which turns out to be a great rock album with a very modern and slick sound.
These guys are great at steering a song towards a climax that they can postpone indefinitely with ease. In songs like “Iron Honey & Gold” and “Via Satellites” Heroes & Zeros manage to create a lot of tension in the verses with restrained drums and riffs that float around in all directions before leading up to an explosive chorus. Kind of like what the Belgian band Soon used to be great at. If you don’t know that band you might want to check them out. And while you’re at it, check out this album as well because there’s no denying Heroes & Zeros made a very solid album with “Simian Vices Modern Devices”.
Score: 7 out of 10
