Artist: Unchained

CD Title: Unchained

Label: Sound Riot Records

Release Date: 1/28/05

Comments: Unchained musical journey began with founding guitarist David Blome and the group officially formed in 1999. Through a host of band shakeups as members came and went, David maintained his vision until the current line-up came together in 2002.

Unchained self-titled debut combines elements of melodic metal, fiery guitars solos, energized soundscapes and harmonious vocal choruses. Per Karlsson vocals has a Bruce Dickson/Dave Mustang quality and purely energize the groups 9 track CD.

Unchained pulls no punches, the band surely harbor strong influences from 80s metal bands like Iron Maiden and Queensryche. The guitarists play off of one another as they launch their twin guitar assault on your senses, taking the time to allow their songs to breathe they tease the listener with the much sought after and elusive guitar solo. Heavy riffin’ also is a key ingredient to the bands metal sound.

The CD is a 47 minute frenzy that true metal fans will enjoy. With no filler tracks and strong metal ambitions, Unchained, deliver quality melodic metal. Unleash them on your CD player and pick up a copy today ...

Line-up: Per Karlsson (v), David Blome (g), Peter Ericsson (g), Mattias Osbeck (b), Martin Michaelsson (d)
