Solace is a Heavy rock band hailing from the Jersey Shore, USA.
Formed in 1996 from the ashes of Atlantic Records artist Godspeed, Solace is best known in the Stoner Rock genre, but as guitarist and founding member Tommy Southard has said "We’re not a stoner band, we’re a Rock ’n’ Roll band - a hard rock band, a Metal band."[1] The comparison of their albums to those of Black Sabbath, Queens of the Stone Age and Kyuss,[2] as well as their live performances at Stoner Rock festivals such as America's Emissions from the Monolith and Europe's Roadburn Festival, have rooted them deeply in this genre of Rock, however.

Solace's last release, Further, lived in my CD player when I got it. I found that release to be full of vigor and power. 13 kicks off with the powerful "Loving Sickness/ Burning Fuel", a progressive rock track. The song starts out with a bar of 4/4, then a bar of 5/4, then a bar of 4/4, then a bar of 6/4. This interesting idea lasts for the first 1:41 of the track. Then the drummer hits a "1 2 3 4" on his hi-hat and the band launches into a ferocious straight 4/4 feel with intense drumming and an equally intense guitar riff. Then at the 3:24 point in the song, a third musical idea is introduced, this time featuring a harnonica solo. Then, to finish the song, the opening riff is repeated, only this time it is in straight 4/4 time. Track two, "Indolence", kicks off with a strong backbeat and double-time drums. The band does sound like they are in a time warp from the 70s. Vocalist Jason's voice sounds like Ozzy at his height with Black Sabbath and guitarist Tommy Southard has assembled fuzzy guitar riffs with the right amount of feedback. Pulling from an idea experimented with on Further, "Once Around the Sun (Deep through Time)" begins with a sample of two androids talking about their "perfection." The perfection of this 7:12 rocker is the way the instruments on this track sound like a well-oiled machine. Overall, Solace pays tribute to their 70s influences with a lot of poise and character. There are some interesting musical ideas.
