Flu not reimbursed by the secu!

Orion told you about the first album Devil's Train, released in 2012, and he spoke well although his note was a severe hair. The group comes here prove that they have developed their formula and that little something that was missing in the first installment is available on the new album simply called II. As explained Orion, the guys do in Devil's Train vintage hard rock, "basic" (although I find it a bit pejorative term), with small keys southerners. The line up of the group has not changed, and therefore include a pair of former Mystic Prophecy, RD Liapakis and Laki Ragazas vocals and guitar respectively and a pair of ex-Stratovarius Jörg Michael Jari Kainulainen and bass respectively battery. Without diminishing the role of the rhythm section (including the big bass Jari), this is clearly the impressive guitar playing and singing Laki frankly inspired by David Coverdale RD, who hold the booth beautifully. Mr Jones course the clip remains in style, budget for the screenplay, but big cars, big leather and chest girth. Yet we fall into the cliches of style.

But it's not just that either. For if we look at the content, we find a group capable of laying sacred right pieces. Starting with what Mr Jones, as I spoke just now. The bluesy intro slide acoustic guitar is excellent, the bass riff / well clumsy guitar, well inspired solo. In fact, it starts from the first song to punchy wish, Down On Me. The choruses are supported by the choirs of the group (a constant in the album), the bass is particularly worked, damn guitar swinging riffée also monstrous solo. Hollywood Girl, and "look That Kills" is a logical continuation of the American Woman's first album, not original but monstrously well built.

Gimme Love, hysterical, is at the crossroads of Whitesnake and Van Halen. The guitar solo is a killer that should rouse Eddie Van Halen from its torpor. Good god it grooves max this thing: irresistible. If you want to groove, listen, let's Shake It, huge, great and groovy chorus verse, worn by a beautiful bass line. The guitar solo to the wah-wah is still monstrous, we think a little Nuno Bettencourt. I still like Girl Like You, extremely well sung with big catchy chorus and solos punctuated do well. Thunderstorm Then, once launched frenzied after his intro slide sympatoche on stormy background. Suffocated and again we said once David Coverdale has nightmares of not having such a voice.

The group also takes two classic hard rock, but I'm not sure to find a judicious approach (some will cry filling). The album does contain thirteen tracks (for fifty-one minutes), but I still would have preferred some original compositions or one or two live tracks. Anyway short, as they have not asked my advice, rather they offer us a cover of Born To Be Wild Steppenwolf (and its "heavy metal thunder"), which, if I understand the coherence of the theme, brings not much either. They end with a cover of Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song that touches me much. It is well understood, well sung, bassist it unleashed, they add several interesting guitar solos, definitely "the hammers of the gods" is still alive as well after more than forty years of existence.

I highly recommend this album in which one does not get bored for a second, all fans of hard rock bands recently and inspired (The Answer) Australian hard rock (Electric Mary, Koritni) or old classic hard rock, a little bluesy (Whitesnake, Extreme). It is full of testosterone, it moves head and foot file that the potato, it can even serve as influenza. Juror!
