Review
Ponamero Sundown is one of these bands that will impressed the newcomers of stone rock music genre .Their origin from Stockholm/Sweden  make some warranty to audience to pay attention and more.... .Rodeo Electrica delivered a new fresh vibe than the debut album Stonerized and aspire to be known also in mainstream hard rock fans , plenty of melodies ,creepy ballads and different types of  songs quorum this 13 song album.
Evil Wand is a classic stoner fuzzy song with a whirling guitars and the vocalist lead the composition and shows some skills of the throat , this getting more similarity with the latest Fu Manchu albums ,'Highway Messiah' continued in the same tempo .Personally I prefer to listen tracks like 'Sorrows' an acoustic ballad from the far west this melodies unfold the music talent of Ponamero Sundown members also 'The Dice' adding mellow parts in fits perfectly .Songs  like  '1025' proof that the advantage of the band is the vocalist , he don t have a special tint but is very dynamic and exceedingly clear !'Rodeo eléctrica, Part I' finish the first part of the record .. pay attention here to acoustic bass. 'Shot for Glory' is one of this song that getting better from the working production otherwise 'Sinners Breed' worth to listen again , this track include some great rhythms .. drummer shines here .'Not the Time' must have some influences of Los Natas (El Gobernador , Toba trance era) .'Not the Time'  and 'The Ghost' strangely reminds me the Sweden disbanded band Mammoth Volume , i wonder if they add keyboard parts in the songs could be a good idea for the heavy songs ; anyway the sound are really melodic now .Highlights of the records are the last songs ..'Fathomless Nothingness' and 'Rodeo eléctrica, Part II' definitely a good sign .
Ponamera Sundown a great pruduced stoner rock album , go down and vote !
