Formed in Gießen, Germany in 2020, Lynx quickly put out their debut single "Grey Man". Their 2021 full-length "Watcher Of Skies" arrived via the No Remorse label, drawing heavily from the classic sounds of Thin Lizzy, Deep Purple, and Blue Öyster Cult. The lineup expanded in 2022 when Amy Zine stepped in on vocals and synthesizers. Fast forward to 2025, original singer and guitarist Marvin Kiefer exited the group. Janni, previously of Speedbreaker, took over his duties. The current five-member lineup entered Fat & Holy Studio late that year to track their next release.
Dying Victims Productions brings us "Trinity Of Suns". The band played the music live in the studio. Amy Zine handles the main vocal duties here, giving the music a rough and melodic approach. The five members focus on longer compositions, nuanced arrangements, and varied songwriting. The addition of folk elements adds a distinct flavor to the music. The transition from Marvin Kiefer to Amy Zine gives the album a fresh energy.
The music channels old school heavy metal and progressive rock. The guitars weave intricate harmonies alongside the synthesizers. Traces of Genesis and Pink Floyd bleed into hard rock riffs. The live tracking approach captures a raw, untamed spirit. Tim Künz and Ioannis Athanasiadis lay down some seriously wicked guitar work. Phil Helm on bass and Franz Fesel on drums pound out a massive rhythm section. The synths add a spacey vibe to the heavy riffs.
Tunes like "Voyager" and "Island Universe" stretch past seven minutes, taking you on a wild ride through vast musical landscapes. "Oppressive Season" and "Seven Days Of Darkness" deliver shorter, punchy bursts of rock and roll energy. The title track "Trinity Of Suns" packs killer vocal melodies and massive guitar solos. The band brings excellent songwriting and serious instrumental chops. The production sounds warm, loud, and entirely natural.
Lynx completely nails it on their second full-length. The new lineup fires on all cylinders. The classic heavy metal and hard rock influences pump through their veins. The songs get stuck in your head instantly. Anyone into ‘70s hard rock needs to blast this immediately. "Trinity Of Suns" delivers the goods.
Score: 8.0
