Album Review: All Sinners – We Own the Night (Rat Pak Records)

Massachusetts-based hard rock/metal band All Sinners will release their highly anticipated new studio album, ‘We Own the Night’, on November 14th, 2025, via Rat Pak Records.

A riffy, groovy, hair-raising and head-banging heavy metal and rock album, All Sinners are back, and back with something that will please a wide array of people. Those who want old school heavy music with big choruses and solos, and those who want their metal and rock to have modern stadium vibes. That’s what All Sinners deliver, and then some, on this likable listen.

Kicking off with the potent intro of Embers Rising, which leads nicely on to the banging Into the Flames. An opener that keeps it simple, but in an enjoyably heavy metal way. Groovy riffs, soaring vocals, punchy drums, a screaming guitar solo, and a chorus that worms its way into the brain. The bar for head banging is well and truly set at a high place from the start.

Happily, it’s a bar that several other tracks reach here, some of which come in the first half alone. There’s the title track, which has a definite, and lovable, whiff of power metal about it. Then there is Lead Me into Darkness, a hyperactive explosion of body shaking and head banging vigour. However, personally, it’s So Evil that stands out the most. Not just because it’s so damn groovy and sleazy, but because it’s more imaginative than anything else.

Whereas the likes of The Wave, with its jabbing percussion and grand chorus sounds cool, but lacks a bit of bite, and Dead to Rights lacks spark, even with some wild guitar touches here and there.

These are small complaints though as overall, All Sinners have dropped a banger here and the latter part of the album doesn’t disappoint. Not when Deaf from the Echoes delivers potent melodies and has an injection of pace that leads into a wild solo. Not when World That’s Burning comes with such fiery energy, some delightful vocal highs and lows, and the album’s best guitar solo (yes, I said it). Especially not when Wake Up and Stay’s drumbeats and riffs are so addictive.

It really is a strong end, and to cap it all off, we have a bit of classic metal ballad to enjoy as the finale, albeit with some cool twists and turns. It’s called The Reason and it’s an exclamation mark on a hefty release that just about everyone can enjoy. Great job, All Sinners!
