Outloud - VHS: Virtual Hero Society

[Stefan]

 

Press release:

Blurring the lines between past and present, the retro-world and modern society, AOR, Melodic Rock and Heavy Metal, OUTLOUD release their first video-single out of their forthcoming album "VHS:Virtual Hero Society" (Rock Of Angels Records)

According to the band: "We love the whole new retro wave but on the other hand we don't live in the past. This video is representative of how the new OUTLOUD album sounds like: it's old but fresh, it's melodic but heavy, it's something familiar yet completely new. 
Somewhere between Guns & Roses, Annihilator, Eclipse and Iron Maiden we feel that we have evolved our personal sound and have contributed to the world metal scene with a really strong album.
"Virtual Heroes" is definitely one of the less obvious melodic/arena rock/AOR video-singles; the album is full of them. We just wanted to make a difference and a statement."

[Crazysam]

Solid tune

[heavyharmonies]

Not bad. It has a very Stryper-esque vibe at times.

[The Rocker]

Meh

[Stefan]

New lyric video.

 

 

[Geoff]

Both songs are okay. Another pretty average band but should be good for a couple of decent songs on the new album. 

[The Rocker]

Good enough song.

[Stefan]

Best of the 3 but still just ok...

[Geoff]

Not a bad album. They have a good sound and great production, but struggle to write songs that stick out from the pack. A few very similar sounding songs on this one too. But I did enjoy 'I Am the One,' 'Share My Dreams,' 'World-Go-Round' and 'Borrowed time.' 

Not a great release, but it does have it's moments. 

[Glen]

it was OK but I've deleted it off Spotify now which means I'll never listen to it again basically 

[Mafisen]

I rate it 5 out of 6. It's diverse, great vocals, riffing is fine too and there are several songs that have gone on my best of 2018 playlist. 

[CureTheSane]

Well, I've listened for probably my 3rd or 4th time and have to say I'm disappointed in this.

Really tame/poppy/watered down/samey compared to previous releases.

Let's GEt Serious was about as AOR as I get, and this one just slipped over that line.
I'll likely find a few songs that stick out enough to want to add to their best of, but to get there I feel like I have to listen to this a few more times. Shouldn't be that way.
Maybe I should shelve it for a half a year or so and come back to it.

New video.

 

 

[Geoff]

Good song from a pretty good album. 

[kourosofsteel3]

Killer song (pure MacAuley S.G. worship) and video (kinda hard to be objective on that matter, though ).

[Stefan]

New video.

New lyric video for 'World-Go-Round'.
