This new 70+ minute long opus consists of 14 new compositions jam
packed with intense musical ideas influenced by classical music
(Italian), classic hard rock (reminds me Deep Purple), heavy metal,
progressive rock/metal. All in one ? Almost ! Voice and music can
be categorized as typical US Hard Rock. Lars Eric invited some friends
and well known musicians to guest on the project. These included
: Patrick Rondat, Rob Johnson (Magnitude 9), Erik Norlander (Lana
Lane, Rocket Scientists). This album also reminds me other US bands
: Whitesnake, Joshua and House of Lords. Third and fifth song are
very melodic, with nice "keyboard effects" and catchy guitar riff.
Bjorn Lodin voice reminds me "Coverdall meets Rod Stewart" (very
cool sharp voice). Catchy songs mixed with soft melodic ballads
and tight odd meter riffing. On some songs, keyboard "sings" like
Symphony X and "battles" with guitars are well done. I grow up with
bands like Joshua, House Of Lord or King Kobra and this album reminds
me those "great" hard rock bands (songs 3,5,9). Nostalgic "hard
rock" style combined with "keyboard" of the 90's. For those who
have bought the first Majestic's LP "Abstract Symphony", check this
one.
We have received this album from Lion Music, Finland and it has
been a "real" discovery for us . Fans of AOR and good old hard rock
go and check Lion Music website. You can order this album
directly from Lion Music, Finland (15$ incl. postage).
