White Lace & Strange/I Loved A Woman/Country Life/Red House/Moon Child/Dear Dream Maker/King Of The Black Sunrise/Open Up Your Eyes
King Of The Black Sunrise was the sole album release from the Philadelphia heavy rock group Thunder & Roses. Their music is a cross between Cream and Black Sabbath.
“This was the sound that Black Sabbath was looking for, but I know for a fact, Thunder & Roses had it first. The bluesy riffing on this album is top notch.”
“Very impressive three piece Philadelphia band's only album, covering a good range of heavy blues based psych rock, mellow psych rock, and even a country influenced song. Excellent drumming throughout, and a guitarist who was way underappreciated.”
“An awesome example of my favourite sub-genre: psych/hard rock. This is power-trio driven rock with some prog influences.”
“This is the only LP they ever released. Thunder and Roses are a very unknown band and that isn't any wonder, because at the time of its release, King of the Black Sunrise didn't stand out as anything special. So why are they nothing special? Well their sound is so Hendrix-influenced that many people would consider them as some kind of imitators.”
“There are only eight tracks here and most of them are quite awesome, offering us some high quality heavy psych with strong blues vibes. But there are also a couple of flaws. For example, the song Country Life is total filler and clearly the weakest song here. But anyway, I like this album a lot and I bet that if you like psychedelic rock at all, you will enjoy this too.”
“Totally forgotten masterpiece. The raw live sound from this power trio should be heard by far more people. Really good drummer.”
“White Lace & Strange is the best song on the album. Not far removed from the loud, pulverizing metal Blue Cheer was exploring. King Of The Black Sunrise shifts somewhat aimlessly between blues-based hard rock and extended psychedelic jams. The band also offers up a serviceable cover of Jimi Hendrix's Red House."
