After all, Bride was \u201cdone\u201d after 2013\u2019s <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Incorruptible<\/span> \u2026 as they were \u201cdone\u201d after 2009\u2019s <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Tsar Bomba<\/span> \u2026 as they were \u201cdone\u201d after 2006\u2019s<span style=\"font-style: italic;\"> Skin For Skin<\/span>, etc., etc. Dale Thompson was often found saying there is no role for Bride any longer in the current music scene. Thankfully, Dale underestimated the willingness of the Spirit to keep Bride going by contributing hard-hitting and relevant music. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Skin For Skin<\/span> was a seriously heavy release, and <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Tsar Bomba<\/span> remains, for me, one of the top three Bride releases ever. And even though <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Incorruptible<\/span> had some moments, it did feel like a swan song in many regards. But God was not finished with Dale and Troy Thompson \u2013 at least as it concerns heavy, groove-laden rock\/metal. Fast-forward to 2018. The story of two brothers, inseparable in their desire to create Jesus-centric rock, continues \u2026 despite their physical separation of some 8k miles (Dale relocated to New Zealand). With the help of Dale\u2019s bass player from N.O.G. (Nenel Lucena) and the talented drummer from Brazil (Aposan Alexandre), <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Snake Eyes<\/span> became reality.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">\n<p class=\"font_8\">Let me get this out as well, since there has been considerable pre-release hype. I can\u2019t count how many times we\u2019ve heard the, \u201cthis is Snakes 2\u201d hype in the past twenty years. Can we please just lay that down and realize that<span style=\"font-style: italic;\"> Snakes In The Playground<\/span> was the culmination of many great things coming together at one point in time \u2013 a crucial point in time for Bride\u2019s musical career for sure \u2013 and that as special as that album was (and those songs remain today) that release didn\u2019t represent everything Bride (the band\/the brothers) had to offer musically or spiritually. There have been many great moments both before and after that release which have been discounted somewhat because of the \u201cSnakes\u201d legacy. Keep in mind that there was heavy influence from Plinky\/Dez on that album and so these songs can\u2019t fairly be compared.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">\n<p class=\"font_8\">Fortunately, <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Snake Eyes<\/span> (about as close to a sequel as we are likely to experience) stands well on its own &#8211; these songs embody most of the best of the Bride spirit and musical vibe from the past two and a half decades. The Thompson brothers have, for sure, recaptured that great groove-infused crunch (with a bit of funk\/fusion) that made their early 90\u2019s releases like <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Kinetic Faith<\/span>, <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Snakes In The Playground<\/span> and <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Scarecrow Messiah<\/span> so great. Even though I don\u2019t think this album as a whole \u201cwows\u201d with greatness like some of those moments past, there are some truly breathtaking songs on this record.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">\n<p class=\"font_8\" style=\"font-size: 16px; margin-left: 80px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><span style=\"color: #cc8823;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">\u201cJesus Is Knocking On The Door Of Your Heart Today.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">\n<p class=\"font_8\">The<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"> \u201cIntro\u201d<\/span> hearkens right back to the <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Playground<\/span> with those iconic words \u2013 \u201cJesus is knocking on the door of your heart today.\u201d This opening minute is filled with sounds and voices that immediately draw us back to that magical moment in time when most of us felt that we finally had a band in the Christian scene that could compete with Guns \u2018n\u2019 Roses and the like in the hard rock arena. This is immediately followed with the aggressive<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"> \u201cFake News\u201d<\/span> \u2013 a commentary, not surprisingly, on the contemporary media scene. This song has a great chorus section and some great exhortation (\u201cyou need agape love\u2026\u201d), but the funky break-out section featuring Dale\u2019s trademark rap-like (whatever you call it) vocal scathing seals the song\u2019s credibility. This song is immediately followed by one of the best songs on the album, <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">\u201cFamous When I\u2019m Dead.\u201d<\/span> This fast-paced rocker with profound words and plenty of heat breathes new life into the Bride body. I love that Aerosmith ride-bell quarter note punch in the chorus section. This opening 3 track sequence really captures the ear&#8217;s attention for sure!<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">\n<p class=\"font_8\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">\u201cJohn the Baptist\u201d<\/span> takes a few spins to appreciate, but the guitar (drum accompanied) solo really works well. Plenty of praise for the drumming and the drum sound on this record, in general, but I love the tones and rhythms on this song in particular. I can\u2019t say, though, that I love the \u201cwho wish it\u201d screaming toward the end. <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">\u201cThink I\u2019ll Build The Bomb\u201d<\/span> is a total flashback to \u201cSki Mask and Handgun\u201d with a contemporary lyrical adjustment to the way in which the \u201cviolence\u201d mindset has now infected our youth. The notion that \u201cnowhere in the world is safe\u201d is one we all should heed as there are no longer any \u201csafe\u201d places in our world. <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">\u201cThe Real Jesus\u201d<\/span> is, hands down, a great song. Not only is the groove\/rhythm so chill, but the lyrics just scream truth. You can chase the dreams of this world (\u201cAnother life, another loss of dreams\u201d), or you can find \u201cthe real Jesus\u201d (\u201cNot the one of a chain, I believe in Jesus\u201d).<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">\n<p class=\"font_8\" style=\"font-size: 16px; margin-left: 120px;\"><span style=\"color: #cc8823;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u201cWhy is it so easy to write about pain?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">\n<p class=\"font_8\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">\u201cLost Within A Song\u201d<\/span> is another killer song with great grooves and lyrics. This would probably be the most Scriptural song lyrically and certainly the most uplifting song on the record in that regard. <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">\u201cLaughter Of It All\u201d<\/span> has some really great softer sections where Troy\u2019s riffs really hearken back to the <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Playground<\/span> days. <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">\u201cThe Painter\u201d<\/span> drags things down to a slower pace and maybe tries just a bit too hard to sound Zeppy. I think this song is very personal for Dale, but I think it breaks the momentum of the album just slightly. Much better is <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">\u201cCall Out His Name.\u201d<\/span> Can you say Black Sabbath? These great doomy riffs and lyrics shine \u2013 an example of how this album isn\u2019t all about just trying to emulate <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Playground<\/span>. The guitar tones in this song are killer, the bluesy guitar solo is king and I love the double bass drum on the \u201cride-out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">\n<p class=\"font_8\" style=\"font-size: 16px; margin-left: 160px;\"><span style=\"color: #cc8823;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u201cI hear the sound of the snake.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">\n<p class=\"font_8\">It seems that on every release there is that one song \u2013 the prototypical Bride song! <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">\u201cOther Side Of Suicide\u201d<\/span> is really great. Dale\u2019s vocals have that raspy quality, so distinctly Bride. Like \u201cThe Real Jesus,\u201d there are no screams here, just that edgy quality that is confrontational and motivational. I love the guitar solo too. This song contains all of the elements that make Bride so good, arguably the best track on the album. <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">\u201cThere\u2019s Always Tomorrow\u201d<\/span> would have to be the \u201cdeparture\u201d song on the album. There is a somewhat \u201cprogressive\u201d vibe to this song, but it works pretty well \u2013 plenty of bass vibe and plenty of hope. I think if the pace was a bit faster this would be even better, but nevertheless, it is a solid closer to the album.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">\n<p class=\"font_8\">In summary, I had too much hype about this release being a return to Snakes In The Playground, which it is not. I had to go through this a few times before really being able to grasp just how funk-driven these songs are. Where <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Snakes in the Playground<\/span> was incredibly over-produced, <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Snake Eyes<\/span> actually represents a more raw expression of Dale and Troy\u2019s vision for their sound. I like these songs more with each listen and the less I think about <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Snakes in the Playground<\/span> the more I appreciate <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Snake Eyes<\/span> (if that makes sense). The sound quality is excellent \u2013 very warm\/balanced with plenty of low-end bass and kick drum punch. I would have to admit that I don\u2019t hear much difference between the vinyl and the CD because the CD is actually very \u201cvinyl-like\u201d in its warmth and uncompressed nature. In addition to the regular CD booklet with lyrics and pictures, the rear tray insert contains a nice synopsis\/back-story to the album by Dale. (Not included on the vinyl lyric insert). The vinyl record itself is lightweight, with vibrant blue-marble color, and a very \u201cold-school\u201d label (pictured). The insert has the lyrics on one side and band pictures from the past 30 years on the other side.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">\n<p class=\"align-center font_8\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/d7ac5b_1ba3840623164a15a51500f9b824b010-mv2_d_3863_2579_s_4_2-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"626\" height=\"417.92\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">\n<p class=\"font_8\">Fans of Bride should be able to easily connect with this release. It is great to know that even when Dale and Troy (and the musicians past and present who accompany them on their journey) see fit to end the Bride saga, God see\u2019s otherwise. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Snake Eyes<\/span> is yet another musical gift and blessing that was never apparently supposed to happen, but represents that kind of \u201cunexpected surprise\u201d that screams joyfully.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">\n<p class=\"font_8\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.boonesoverstock.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Retroactive Records<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\"><a href=\"https:\/\/boonesoverstock.com\/products\/bride-snake-eyes-new-cd-vinyl-marbled-blue-bundle-2018-retroactive-records-pre-order-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Release Date: Out Now<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\">\n<p class=\"font_8\">Track Listing:<\/p>\n<p class=\"font_9\" style=\"font-size: 13px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">1.
