If arguably "Sun Red Sun" is the 11th release by LYNCH MOB, as far as i'm concerned, they had never reach the excellence of the first two albums, who are still highly praised writing in golden letters in my glorious book of Heavy Metal, especially their second self titled offer with Robert Mason (BIG COCK/WARRANT/exCRY OF LOVE) on Lead Vocals which remains my all time favorite from LYNCH & Co.

This is "Sun Red Sun" and was written and recorded by the same line up as the "Sound Mountain Sessions" George Lynch/Oni Logan/Robbie Crane/Scot Coogan, this release also contains remastered version of this ep as a bonus, those tracks even rose in an higher degree in this new environment!

Before the much anticipated album set for late January : "Only To Rise" in collaboration with extraordinary STRYPER frontman Michael Sweet and after KXM/T&N or LYNCH-PILSON short lived projects, "Sun Red Sun" is reassuring, more exciting than the disappointing "Sound Mountain Sessions" and once again the unique alchemy between Oni Logan & George Lynch is working well and it showcases their ever evolving style & songwriting abilities.

"Play The Game" and the more groove-oriented cut "Erotika" is perfectly in concordance with the early LYNCH MOB sound, "Believers of the Day" is more in the 70's 'let's jam fashion' kind of structure while "Subliminal Dream" is clearly set in the old DOKKEN tradition! The monstruous instrumental "Black Waters" recall the sublime "Sacred Groove" period with this moody atmospheric method yet enhanced in a dynamic sonic maelstrom!

The CD also features an acoustic ballad called "Sun Red Sun", which is built under a laidback pace, a tribute to the late great BADLANDS/BLACK SABBATH/PHENOMENA singer Ray Gillen (RIP) and also a cover of BAD COMPANY's "Burnin' Sky" corrupted by the Lynch shredding mania.

George aka Mr Scary is still a very influential player with a very personal approach and a true legacy! Oni Logan seems to found a new blow of youth, here he sounds better than any contemporary recording ("Play The Game"/"Erotika") of course the overall quality is far under the great supremacy of the early 90's disc but it's also the most interesting stuff since T&N's "Slave To The Empire" in fact much better than 2009's "Smoke and Mirrors"... The more consistent LYNCH MOB album in two decade!
