Explode the latest CD release from Black Rose features combination
of 80s metal flair, melodic and neoclassical solos and really reaches
out for a melodic rock vibe. The band writes songs the surely tip
there hat to their influences; Iron Maiden and Yngwie Malmsteen
being the most notable.
Johan
Spinord is not Bruce Dickinson but does and admirable job of carrying
the CD from track to track. He has a pleasant voice that is intelligible
and works well within the context of the songs presented on the
CD. Ola Carisson plays tasteful guitar riffs and solos and even
relinquishes his duties allowing special guest Thomas Berg to handle
guitar duties on “Into The Night.” The band is rounded
out by drummer Peter Haga, bassist Anders Haga and keyboardist Magnus
Vesterlund.
The
CD clocks in at 43 minutes and 56 minutes. The guys present their
music honestly and make a fair attempt at reviving the genre of
hard rock. More of this and less of the Jessica’s, Brittany’s
and who ever else might come along would be a good thing.
