Abstract Artimus is here with the album Rite of Passage, its ten songs that’ll get you through your day (or night). They blend southern rock, 70′s rock and hard rock perfectly into one music style. It’s like you’re listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple at the same time. These songs really give you that in mind experience, it’s like the soundtrack to that party were you’ve had too much to drink and have smoked some weed. The great thing about this though, is unlike most music that I’d fit into something like that is it’s not disorganized and scattered, you can tell time was put into making these songs. They have a solid base and everything is right in its place to make perfectly structured songs, ten times in a row. I’d recommend this to anyone into 70′s rock, this is the best example of it I’ve heard in a long time, and its obvious Abstract Artimus has a lot of talent and will be putting out quality music for a while to come.

Every great musician always reflects on the past to create something new and that’s exactly what I find in Abstract Artimus’s album Rite of Passage. Plug in, turn it up and get personal. His lyrics get in your face with out walls of over embellishment, effects or layers of over takes. His instruments support and drive the lyric, no pyrotechnics that can reduce a song to scrap but Artimus’s music is a careful crafting of tension, simplicity and lyric that gives life to great songs that have great message. Long time over due album from the independent artist genre and is truly independent and warrants recognition.
This dude is pure ROCK AND ROLL! Come to L.A.!!!
