Hound’s 2018 debut album features 12 immortal anthems of energetic old-school hard rock music. The band from Hannover/Hildesheim, Germany has earned a strong reputation as one of the most spectacular live bands in the retro hard rock scene at numerous concerts since they were founded in 2014. Hound released two highly acclaimed EPs on their own, here comes their debut full album release. Hound take their cue from In Rock, Fireball, and Machine Head era Deep Purple, steamrolling through a dozen tracks chock full of blistering Hammond organ and guitar interplay and powerful vocals.Images of Jon Lord and Ritchie Blackmore pop up right from the outset on the rampaging 1-2-3 shot of “Not So Long Ago”, “Jim Vance” and the metallic “The Perilous Realm”. Neite has a potent upper register shriek, a perfect fit for these boisterous guitar riffs and nimble organ jaunts, but also shows his more gentle, bluesy swagger on the atmospheric “Cursed Place”. “Thoughts And Prayers” is just terrific, a classic sounding headbanger with delicious guitar/organ riffs that wouldn’t have sounded out of place on In Rock, while “The Poacher” is snarling and venomous with more than a nod to Thin Lizzy in the riff. Settle Your Score’s longest track is “The Secret Commonwealth”, and it’s also its bluesiest, Grujic laying down some tasty guitar solos alongside an equally gorgeous Hammond excursion from Gehlen. Other highlights here include the barnstorming “Grit”, the prog-meets-blues of “Flesh And Bone”, and the shuffling hard rock gem that is the fist pumping title cut. Outstanding on so many levels, Settle Your Scores is a ’70s styled hard rock album not to be missed. This is a young band with a very bright future ahead of them, and I’ll be watching them very closely going forward.
