An artist who's no stranger to reinventing himself,
Kazzer moves away from rap-rock toward a more reflective and confessional rock sound on
Irons in the Fire, his second album as
Redlight King. With less emphasis on samples, the album finds the singer/songwriter shifting toward a more traditional sound, and given his knack for gritty introspection, the injection of more hard rock and adult alternative influences is a welcome change. This makes for a rather fitting parallel to his own life and career, which finds the singer always trying to embrace moving forward toward something new while still remembering the things that got him to where he is. ~ Greg Heaney
