Eric Martinez-Baptized in Ice-Review
by Tim Wenger
Eric Martinez, of Dyrty Byrds fame, brings out a side of himself containing a high dose of rocking, while still remaining mellow, on his new solo record Baptized in Ice. Elements of blues and classic rock mesh with Martinez’ own signature driving rock sound, to create an album that sounds very different from the majority of the music coming out of Denver these days.
The tracks “Nightly Chivalry” and “Lucifer” have a darker tone than the rest of the songs on the disc. “Survival” has a strong bluesy tone, relying heavily on intricate guitar licks to highlight the vocal lines. Cohesively, the record flows well, holding true to Martinez’ rock-and-roll roots while highlighting what he does best–rip his guitar to shreds underneath a powerful voice that demands not only attention, but a keen desire to listen. Definitely worth checking out if you are a fan of quality rock and roll.
