Picture Credit: Sharone   Sharone - Morbid Illusion Release Date: May 28, 2021 Label: DI Records  Format: Digital Length: 34:17 Genre: Melodic Metal / Gothic Rock Origin: Denver , CO , USA "Morbid Illusion" is the fourth album by Denver's multi-instrumentalist and solo artist Sharone. The Coloradan artist presents ten new tracks, all written and produced by herself, and recorded with the help of several guest musicians. On the new album, Sharone lets us dive into a dark and fantastic sonic reverie. The sinister topics concerned on "Morbid Illusions" reach from hopelessness to confidence, from depression and isolation to self-confidence, and from stagnation to empowerment and passion. Sharone's fourth full-length release is a collection of anthems for not giving up and believing in oneself, no matter how dark the night might be. Music-wise, you can obviously hear that Sharone is gifted and trained musician. The songwriting reveals that the artist is conversa...

Picture Credit: Lost Division   Lost Division - Cuts and Scars Release Date: May 28, 2021 Label: Inverse Records Format: CD / Digital Length: 41:14 Genre:  Heavy Metal  /  Melodic Metal Origin:  Oulu ,  Finland Three years ago, Oulu's Lost Division published their first two-track release " Wish you were dead ". Besides the title track, this EP (or single?) contained a song called 'In Memoriam'. Keep that in mind. In the year of the lockdown, the Finnish band recorded their first full-length album which was then released exactly three years after "Wish you were dead" saw the light of day. The new album is opened by the powerful banger 'In Memoriam 2.0' - a strong sequel to the track from the previous release. Now that is coherence. "Cuts and Scars" is a colourful album, defined by heavy riffing, massive walls of modern Heavy Metal sound, and very melodic arrangements. The tunes are very catchy and yet they are driven forward with intense...

EP Review: DevilsBridge - Endless Restless (2020)

Image
DevilsBridge aus dem Schweizer Kanton Thurgau feierten vor kurzem ihr achtjähriges Bestehen. Gefeiert wurde das Jubiläum mit der Single " Rebirth " Ende letzten Jahres und dem darauffolgenden " Illuminate " im Februar 2020. Mit den beiden Veröffentlichungen hat das Quintett schon ordentlich den Ofen eingeheizt, um jetzt am 10. April 2020 ein richtig heißes Brikett aufzulegen. Auf dem Label Fastball Music erscheint nun die erste EP der Band "Endless Restless" - knapp eine halbe Stunde feinster melodischer Metal auf sechs neuen Tracks. Metal mit Charakter oder Modern Melodic Metal nennt das Fünfergespann seinen Stil. Genauer heißt das, harte Riffs und knackig abwechslungsreiche Rhythmen treffen auf melodische Leads und futuristisch anmutende Stimmungen. An vorderster Front steht Sängerin Dani Nell , die mit kräftiger, voller und mitreißender Stimme die Richtung vorgibt. Trotz der Intensität sowie der Geschwindigkeit der Musik bleibt der Gesang klar und v...

Album Review: K.A.Z - Fighting for Life (2019)

Image
Six years ago K.A.Z were founded in Lidköping, Sweden with the aim to produce intense and heavy Rock and Metal. One single and one EP later the powerful quintet has released their first full-length album "Fighting for Life" . The selfreleased piece contains ten tracks of which 'Beautiful' and 'In Flames' are also available as singles. K.A.Z play some highspeed and roughedge mixture of Heavy Rock, Hard Rock and Heavy Metal with catchy melodies and atmospheric harmonies. Central elements of the album are Ocar s clean and powerful Heavy Metal leads and Louise s strong and omnipresent Hard Rock chants. Around these melodic instances there is a raw and forceful landscape of galopping and intense rhythms, massive riffing as well as the support of background growls. K.A.Z merge Heavy Rock tunes with Death Metal attitude and a lot of the feeling Melodic Metal around the millenium gave you. Goosebumps are to be expected when listening to this album. For arou...
