Sunshine & Lollipops are a band from Germany that plays a progressive mixture of black, thrash, speed metal and crust punk and this is a review of their 2022 album "The * Circuits Of Unconsciousness" which will be released on November 2th by bleeding heart Nihilist Productions.
A very fast, r aw and melodic sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Synths can also b e heard at times while the solos and leads also add in some melody while the mid tempo sections of the songs also add in elements of thrash and speed metal.
Vocals are done in more of a first wave black metal style with some touches of the German thrash metal style. The songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with all of the musical instruments on the recording also having a very powerful sound to them and at times the music also adds in touches of crust punk.
On some of the tracks the music also goes into more of a progressive direction along with some back up shouts also being added into certain sections of the recording as well as one one also introducing acoustic guitars onto the album, a couple of the songs are also very long and epic in length and clear vocals can also be heard briefly, one track is also an instrumental and introduces keyboards into the music. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are inspired by the writings of Schopenhauer, Kerouac, Alejandro Jodorowsky and cover nihilism themes.
In my opinion Sunshine & Lollipops are a very great sounding progressive mixture of black, thrash, speed metal and crust punk and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Seal of Disapproval" "Possessed by Life" and "Of Vanishing & Vanity". 8 out of 10.
