Heavy Blues Rock with 100 Watt Vipers' "Backed by Blood"
100 Watt Vipers, the Jacksonville, Florida-based duo, have returned with a bang with their latest album "Backed by Blood" released in 2024. Known for their heavy blues rock style, this band has a history of turning heads since their formation in 2013. After a brief hiatus following their 2018 album, the Vipers have come back with a lineup that rekindles the fire of their early years.
"Backed by Blood" is all about the raw, unfiltered blues rock that 100 Watt Vipers have always been about. The album was crafted under the guidance of founding member Paul Joseph, who has managed to capture the essence of what made the band stand out in the first place. With each track, you get a strong dose of blues, driven by the sound of a Fender Stratocaster through a vintage Marshall JCM 800. Songs like "It All Comes Down Hard" and "Let the Fallen Man Rise" are not just music; they're stories of struggle and perseverance set to a rhythm that demands your attention.
The band's previous albums had earned them a solid international base in the heavy blues rock scene, and with "Backed by Blood", they continue to build on that foundation. The album showcases a no-frills approach to rock 'n' roll, where the focus is on the power of the riff and the emotion in the vocals.
If you're looking for that heavy, blues-infused rock sound that isn't diluted by mainstream radio, 100 Watt Vipers' "Backed by Blood" is your next listen. It's an album for those who appreciate rock music in its most honest form, echoing from the streets of Jacksonville to rock fans around the globe.
