This is one historical band! Belongs to NWOBHM, made some fine albums, been around for more than twenty years, with its ups and downs – mostly downs – and decided to revive… Certain exceptional artists became part of that revival…
Doogie White, one of the best singers in the business, is the band’s vocalist. We’ve seen him with Michael Schenker in Athens recently, however, the band was not well-rehearsed at the time and maybe, just maybe, some of you misunderstood Doogie as well. All I can tell you is that the Scottish frontman is a fantastic singer! He’s got an awesome larynx and a brilliant technique. The band style is a bit more American though, more Heavy Rock than Metal, yet such a thing is natural, due to the voice color… On the other hand, didn’t NWOBHM sound a bit like that? Btw, the “Hammer and nails” ending is totally NWOBHM, right?
Hard & Heavy Rock by Tank and nobody is harmed by that, especially when we get to listen to songs like “Don’t dream in the dark”; maaaaan, Magnum would kill to have that hymn in their storehouse!
Next track might be the ultimate album one… “Grace of god” and White’s voice is led by a huge theme. Mega intro and a rather Maiden-ish riff excites us all, along with the chorus. This is one powerful song… Their style in general points out to Saxon a lil’ bit, now I’m listening to “Justice for all”… Production is fabulous, the band has worked with Phil Kinman, who’s considered one of the new hottest names in the area. Would also like to remind you that Chris Dale (ex Bruce Dickinson) is the band’s bassist. That’s quite an attractive package, don’t say no…
