The music world eagerly anticipated Black Smoke Trigger’s bold entry with their debut album ‘Horizons.’ When they land their punches, they’re a knockout force to reckon with.

New Zealand rockers, Black Smoke Trigger, have embarked on their musical quest with their debut album Horizons. With their feet firmly planted in the hard rock genre, they serve up a selection of tracks that hold promise of a thundering presence. However, as some tracks surge with raw energy, others don’t quite stick the landing, leading us into a rollercoaster experience of rock revelry and clichéd letdowns.

  • The album opens with a bang, delivering blistering riffs that set the bar high.
  • As ‘Horizons’ progresses, some songs echo with a feel of déjà vu, reminding us of tunes we’ve heard replicated in numerous rock albums before them.
  • The effort to craft an identity seems to waver, getting lost in familiar territory that fails to ignite the same spark.
  • Yet, when Black Smoke Trigger hit their stride, they deliver with an impact that is undeniable—showcasing their potential to shape a unique sound in future releases.

Despite the occasional pitfalls, ‘Horizons’ does not derail Black Smoke Trigger’s potential. It’s an ambitious effort with glittering moments that pierce through the veil of ordinary. The question that lingers is whether they can consistently harness the power they sporadically unleash on this debut.
