     The musical world is rich and powerful and that is also a
     correct description of Siena Root's music. This is a Swedish
     hard rock band which aren't very progressive but still play
     in a progressive spirit or a psychedelic mood, without being
     psychedelic thankfully. "Pioneers" which is totally new is
     their fifth record and all their records has got very high
     (but few) ratings on this site. Especially their first "A new
     day dawning" from 2003 and their third "Far from the sun"
     from 2008. 2014 year's record follows a five year spectrum of
     now records. Their record has a lovely cover with a yellow
     landscape and the sillouettes of the five band-members heads
     in the background sky. Left from former line up is Love
     Forsberg, the band's drummer and Sam Riffer, the band's
     bassist. Otherwise the lead guitarist and organist KG West is
     gone as well as the lead vocalist Sartez Faraj. They are
     replaced by the keyboardist Erik Errka Petersson, the new
     vocalist Jonas ┼hlΘn and the guitarist Matte Gustafsson.

     "Pioneers" is a record of very high standard music which will
     please folk who like the hard rock of the late sixties and
     early seventies. The music is straight and melodic, filled
     with heavy organ sound and a caressing hard rock vocal. The
     musicians themselves has beautiful beards and it's obvious
     they love what they are doing. The only shame is that they
     have chosen to sing in English, that makes their music less
     interesting. I compare with the Norwegian band H÷st which did
     a better choice. But still this music is lovely and very
     pleasurable. I think almost every track is similarily good
     but "In my kitchen" is absolutely the best(9/10), calmer and
     more atmospheric than the others. "Between the lines" and
     "Root rock pioneers" are two other songs I recommend(8/10).
     The record is extremely even so you won't find any bad or
     uninteresting tracks. This is specially a band and a record
     for fans of classical hard rock such as the late sixties'
     Deep Purple. This record is definitely at least a four star
     record. Recommended!
