Review by Colorado Music Post
Strolling
the isles of the downtown Colorado Springs Independent Record, hoping to find
the latest Otep album had hit the shelves, the black and red cover of a local
metal act caught my attention. Sanguine Addictions “Self Enemy” disc has
been available for a couple months now, and though I’d caught their impressive
live show on several occasions and had taken the time to listen to the tracks
they have up on www.myspace.com/sanguineaddiction,
I hadn’t yet considered picking up their album. Otep had still not been
released so I shelled out the 11 bucks and listened to the SA album on my way
home. 20 minutes later I found myself sitting in my car reluctant to go inside
before the song “Dissipate” ended. You could lump SA into the category of
Nu-Metal, but if I were to describe them to a friend it would sound something
like this; “Sanguine Addiction is high energy, extremely enjoyable, radio
friendly metal, they’re always hard hitting and consistently deliver a solid
and commanding live show”. I’d love to see how a couple months on the road
would sharpen this band, but as they stand there’s no question why this band
has been booked as the opener for so many touring national acts. Check them out
at www.sanguineaddiction.com.
