Poison - Sons of Evil
Review by Donna Acker
The album Sons of Evil by Poison is a heavy metal masterpiece that showcases the band's raw talent and passion for music. From the opening track, "Sons of Evil," to the closing ballad, "Until You Suffer Some," Poison delivers a high-energy, hard-hitting performance that will leave listeners wanting more.
The album features some of the band's most iconic songs, including "Unskinny Bop" and "Ride The Wind," which have become staples in the heavy metal genre. Each track is filled with powerful guitar riffs, thunderous drums, and Bret Michaels' signature vocals, which combine to create a sound that is uniquely Poison.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Valley of Lost Souls," which showcases the band's ability to write powerful ballads that tug at the heartstrings. The song's haunting melody and poignant lyrics are a testament to the band's songwriting skills, and serve as a reminder of why Poison has remained one of the most influential bands in the heavy metal genre.

I cant believe this was released in 1984, way ahead of its time.

Underrated band I suppose. 1984. BM scene is certainly well inspired by this band. Young black metalheads should listen to this kind of recording instead of telling and playing new shitty wave

Music is sort of Black metal because of extremly lo-fi quality, I am not a fan of these forced whiny vocals, they should have been raspier. I wish that the production was a bit cleaner, I barely hear guitar riffs for most of the time. I don't get the buzz about this demo. I will be listening INRI by Sarcofago instead.
