Silkeborg and Copenhagen, Denmark based five-piece Alternative Rock band, CELESTIAL SON, have released their newest album called "Saturn's Return". It's the follow up album of their 2012 debut called "Doors of Perception". This seems to be the only thing they took away from THE DOORS' music though. CELESTIAL SON plays a very different kind of Rock, with prominent and heavy guitar riffs, sometimes a little piano and most of all, a certain kind of dankness and darkness in its music. They have more from NINE INCH NAILS in that respect.

"Nothing in Excess" is the opener of the album, and with that one, it starts promising. It starts with a little electronic jingle and the guitars immediately drop in and mark their presence. The singer has a cool and good clean voice as well. It stays a bit the same throughout the song but at this point, I'm still discovering their sound and liking it, so who cares.

"All I Ever Wanted" is up next and is a bit softer than the opener. It's good to see they're already able to mix things up a bit. "Holy Cycle" is more like the first song, "Open Wound" more like the second, although they stand on their own perfectly. By the fifth song, "Sea of Failure", I already have the notion that I've heard this riff before though. Not a good sign this early in.

Regrettably to say, in "The Flow of Creation", I experience the same thing again. It's becoming a bit repetitive. "Caress The Soul" offers a nice change of pace with the piano intro, as does "The Fortress" with its electronic bit in the beginning, but with "Headlong" and "Not A Choice" they grasp back al lot of things from the first couple of songs. They finish with "Deathwish", which is one of their better songs, with changes of pace and some nice pounding drums, and then "The Moon" and "The Pits", which don't contribute that much anymore.

All in all, it's an okay listening experience, but don't expect anything life changing. Don't expect anything day changing either, for that matter.<
