Three years after their selftitled debut the quartet is back with ten new Hard Rock songs. That means, heavy riffing, crunchy sounds and autochthonous beats create a timeless soundscape situated eveywhere between the early 1980s and today. "Reach the Sky"commences with the tough track 'Coming Home' which makes clear what the audience can expect from this album: honest, powerful, Scorpions-like Hard and Heavy Rock. Not matter if you listen to this in the car, on the motorbike, in the bar or at the beach, this releease kicks butt. But instead of blunt force and pure attacks, Hardland present themselves soulfully versatile. Slow jams such as 'Midnight Lover...

The Deathvalves were founded in the Greek town of Karditsa in 2006. Since then the quartet has released three albums, " Wild Rock'n'Roll Obsession " (2007), " Deathvalves " (2012), and " Dark Stories from the Past " (2016). For May 1, 2020 Deathvalves have announced their fourth longplayer "Slaves" which will be released on the label New Dream Records . On their new album Deathvalves present a bit more than half an hour of melodic Hard Rock , Heavy Metal intertwined with Rock'n'Roll attitude. The melodic patterns and motifs have a strong impact on the music of the album which gives it a certain air of Alternative Rock . Instruments, rhythms and an altogether rather positive harmony join a colourful dance as Deathvalves play their melodic but somewhat heavy songs. Convolving structures are often interrupted by heavily distorted riffing buildung up the momentum. Wrapping it up, "Slaves" is a solid and nice album....
