Credit to the guitarist for helping me gain a little bit of respect for the song, The solo is fantastic, fits the style and is smooth as silk! “”4EVER YOUNG, 4EVER FREE” This song really intrigued me, upon starting we are greeted with speedy, catchy riff mixed with some sublime drumming and heart pounding bass, for some reason there's a solo in the opening, which in my opinion was a bad move, it didn't make sense! (not that music always makes sense) So, a shameful start, but guess what? As soon as that mouth opens I feel let down again. The solo in the song is impressive, but only impressive, it doesn't fit the song and feels like it's been thrown in there to compensate for everything else that is going wrong in the tune. So yeah, all in all, It started off looking like but failed as the song went on, Swing and a Miss! To sum things up, Jane Sessions have a lot of work to do, the talent is there but they are miles away from their true potential, Not something I plan to keep on my playlist.
SOUL SIGN Life In The Dark By: Rita Fabozzi Soul Sign is one of those bands that you can call a “super group”. Each member has been in the music business for many years and have worked many famous bands and musicians Quiet Riot, Leather Wolf, Yngwie Malmsteen, Uli Jon Roth, and Tony MacAlpine just to name a few. This band has a very original heavy melodic sound and this album in particular has a very heavy dark sound and feel to it. This album is filled with heavy guitar riffs, crazy solos and bass riffs with vocals that match perfectly with the style of music. The album starts off with a kick ass in your face song with a killer title “I’m Bleeding”. I was absolutely hooked the minute the song started. Each song has its own style but still keeping that dark heavy metal feel to it. The talent that these guys have is incredible; each and every member in this band amazes me.
It’s very hard to pick what my favorite songs are from this album but can name the ones that totally stood out for me “I’m Bleeding”, “Between The Lines” due to its insane bass solo intro, and “In The Presences Of You” . I can really relate to this album and I never imagined coming upon a great a modern metal band until I heard this album. I honestly cannot find one thing wrong this album and band. They are amazing players that are very well organized with a fantastic vocalist backing them up. I would love to see this band live, I am sure they would rock live. I hope this band gets the recognition and respect that they deserve, I can see them going places. If you are a metal fan you must check out this album!
NASTY HABIT Nasty Habit By: Rita Fabozzi I loved what I saw with this band the minute I watched their music video “Saturday Night”.
