![]() Lyrically “Surgery” tackles the plastic ‘fake’ nature humans currently take to alter their physical state without looking deeper into their personality and mind set from within while “Alive” appears to be Ghost’s take on personal release with sex, drugs and rock n roll. The highlight of the album include “One Last Favor” which has a pronounced bass thump from Magnus Liseter that reminds me of early Savatage meets Ratt and the closer “Here I Am” which contains loads of guitar hooks guaranteed to develop windmill hair action and severe neck strain. On the down side, drummer Petter Christopher Lein struggles to maintain even the simplest of basic 4/4 grooves throughout the album, and vocalist Kim Sandvik doesn’t possess the most comfortable voices in hard rock - it’s a little raw and sandpaper-ish compared to their main influences. Ultimately, they have spirit and passion on their side - so I’ll put "The Engraving" in the ‘wait and see’ category for future development. www.ghosttheband.com www.myspace.com/ghostrocks Andre omtaler:20.01.2021: JERRY BLOOM - In the Shadow of the Wizard: Rainbow 1975-1976 19.01.2021: ECLIPSE - Viva La VicTOURia: Live in Gothenburg 18.01.2021: BLUE ÖYSTER CULT - A Long Day’s Night (Deluxe Edition CD/DVD) 16.01.2021: ELLEFSON - No Cover 15.01.2021: U.D.O./Das Musikkorps Der Bundeswehr - We Are One 14.01.2021: FOREIGNER - Can’t Slow Down – Deluxe Edition 13.01.2021: HJELVIK - Welcome to Hel 12.01.2021: HEAVY PETTIN - Best of Heavy Pettin 11.01.2021: STEVE HACKETT - A Genesis in My Bed 08.01.2021: VANDEN PLAS - The Ghost Xperiment - Illumination 07.01.2021: MAGIC DANCE - Remnants 06.01.2021: PERSUADER - Necromancy 05.01.2021: PALACE - Rock and Roll Radio 04.01.2021: GODSEND - As The Shadows Fall 23.12.2020: UNRULY CHILD - Our Glass House 22.12.2020: MEER - Playing House 21.12.2020: JEFF SCOTT SOTO - Wide Awake (in My Dreamland) 19.12.2020: AMAHIRU - Amahiru 18.12.2020: DEPRAVITY - Grand Malevolence 17.12.2020: FALSE GODS - No Symmetry...Only Disillusion |
