"That's it! Finally our album is out! Check it out and get the album dude!" (by Rafa Souza - Lead guitarist)
Released in 2022 by Lions Pride Music Label from Denmark, this album is completely a good piece of a modern Rock with characteristics AOR and 80's.
Songs like 'Ready Or Not' - Think brilliant guitar solos that float like butterfly and sting like a bee! The spoken words on the album are also 80's sourced, not a bad thing in my view. 'Unleash The Fury' has a "woah woah" glam chant, but the sophisticated guitar reminded me of Birmingham band Lovebite which is more in Dokken territory, rather than trashy.
'Full Moon Dance' has the epic fell of the 80's charts, when real guitar and keyboards were still mainstream. 'Never Fear The Unknown' has a bouncy chorus rooted back in the days when music was fun and melodic fast guitar solos were loud and proud. 'The Long Road' and 'Love Devotion' are a bit slower and are almost, if not quite, ballads. 'Gods Of War' is different, slightly heavier and leans towards the trend for Viking Rock a little, although the solo is older school. 'Feel The Vibe' sounds like it started as an eighties song, but has also been made a bit slower and heavier, showing signs of post-nineties influence.
I couldn't be more surprised at the direction the band have taken, but this is very good, sophisticated piece of polished, commercial Rock. My advice would be don't be influenced by anything previously released by the band and give this listen, you won't be sorry. It's almost as though someone cryogenically and just opened the vault. Don't ask question, just grab it with both hands.
