DIFFERENT WAYS

Here is a great album that is solid from start to finish and has really caught my ear. This 3 piece Swedish band play progressive rock somewhere I suppose in the SAGA school of thought. What immediately took me back was the powerful vocals of lead singer Mikael Askemur who has the award from me as the best new voice in rock ! When Askemur's voice is combined with the absolutely stunning guitar work of Larsson and the masterful drum strokes of Thuren you have something very special... Wow these guys came out of nowhere. "Different Ways" is a 12 song based album that seems to hit all moods and moves from ballad-like songs to all out high energy movers. Sonically this album kicks butt... lots of nice deep bass tones (will make your speakers vibrate) and offers great speaker definition. An absolutely essential album and what a debut for sure !
