Trial - Sisters of the Moon (2021)

Showcasing their new vocalist, Arthur W. Andersson, today we have Sweden’s Trial and their EP “Sisters of the Moon”. Featuring two cover songs, one from Fleetwood Mac and another from Black Sabbath, these tracks feature the band firing on all cylinders while paying tribute to some excellent tracks.

Opening with “Sisters of the Moon”, the twin guitar attack of Alexander Ellström and Andreas Johnsson perfectly frames the songs as Arthur’s talented vocals make their appearance. As you can expect, the band makes the song their own, filling it with attitude and crafty musicianship. Proper homage to the mighty Black Sabbath is hard to do, but Trial achieves it with their dramatic and engaging rendition of “Die Young”, including killer guitar leads and vocal antics.

Overall, “Sisters of the Moon” is a very exciting and engaging EP. While only featuring cover songs, it shows a well oiled machine having fun and playing killer music. If you are a fan of the band, we prepared for an exciting future with their new vocalist, as this EP is just a small sampler of what is to come.
