2. Child Of State - Aryon Jones

As a genre, hard rock is always neck deep in deep messages and lyrics. Aryon Jones’ Child of State, is an intense, emotion-packed, rage-ride of powerful rhetoric carried on the riffs and solos of a hard rock virtuoso.

The album begins as hot as it possibly could with “Boys from the Puget Sound”. The song will hit you with the kind of rousing lyrics and powerful riffs that could get anyone off their seats. "Mercy" turns things up a notch, with a more metal-centric vocal style powering through the soul touching lyrics. “Take Me Away” then well and truly takes listeners away to a world where all of Jones’ raw emotions are laid bare for all to see and feel.

Jones’ musicianship all throughout the album is on a whole new level. His singing effortlessly goes from blues to metal, while his guitar work can be stirring up the perfect groove on one song, while delivering heart-touching solos the next.
