What will you write about this band a lot? A band that was almost always there and easy to Hard'n Heavy / Melodic Rock scene belongs to strings a guitar! As a longtime fan of the band - even more (The Eleventh Hour, Kingdom Of Madness, The Lights Burned Out, Wings Of Heaven, Sleepwalking, etc.) and sometimes less (Goodnight LA, Rock Art, Breath Of Life) I can already make some comparisons , and must really pay respect this band in 2011. They sound on "The Visitation" finally times, as I have long wished for. Strangely, I can not make comparisons to a "certain" Magnum CD of their work time after repeated listening to the CD but. It's a magnum CD the really great (melodic, yet rough and altgediegen but quite fresh) across. He had been in some previous works sometimes feel the songs begin to really cool, but somehow not quite "round" and thought through, this is for me at "The Visitation" fortunately not the case. My own 100% -Magnum-favorites on this CD are:
- The Visitation
- Wild Angels (there are probably some Magnum band Slade fans> grinz?!? - Mother Nature's Final Dance
- Midnight Kings (I would get something from Magnum to hear again - real strong point)
These songs, I get this year is no longer with safety aus'm Kopp out! Thus, this CD is (although I only now give my two cents) for me has become a personal musical highlight of the year.
PS: This band would really deserves more success and greater attention at their concerts.
