H.E Miller review "Apocalyptic Dreams"
Artist: H. E. Miller
Album: Apocalyptic Dreams
Reviewed by: Tweek Ferrete
This musician definitely had a vision for the creative direction of his album. H. E. Miller has honed a distinctive style some would call theological rock. It ponders the possibility of worlds where Gods may or may not exist. H. E. Miller is a solo, rock music recording artist from New York City but now residing in New Jersey. His new CD titled “Apocalyptic Dreams” is one man’s musical attempt to understand life’s frustrations and the stories of the gospel in 4/4 time.
Songs such as “Strike The Earth” and “The Human Race” hint that H.E. Miller may be a bit of a misanthropist. He seems to want to spread a healthy fear of God into his listeners. However, I’m unsure of whether he is pro God because he states that waiting for a miracle to come around is like trying to squeeze blood from a stone, “…it ain’t gunna happen.”
Miller wrote and produced all the songs released on Apocalyptic Dreams by himself. What the album lacks in production quality it makes up with personality.
But here’s the real issue, H. E. Miller’s “Apocalyptic Dreams” album was released about three decades too late. He’s a man out of time. The album’s blues, rock blend can easily fit with various artists of the 70’s. The album as a whole can be compared to the Rolling Stones (without Mick Jagger’s sex appeal.)
A high intensity guitar mixed with a smooth steady rhythm really brings back that old rock sound but its raw and amateur production mixes in a grungy punk rock element.
