    I find it to be very average, just like their last album. However. I would definitely like to see video proof of her enjoying her mistress for christmas. Personally, I think she's all talk no action. Munch that vagina on video and everything else (all the bad music) is forgiven.

     

    Amen to that, bro!

     

     

    I concur!!

  2. Can't believe there isn't a thread here for this fantastic album on Kivel Records.

    Well respected and popular singer/songwriter Jace Pawlak has been busier making other artists sound great in recent times, giving his solo name a back seat. But with promise, Jace roars back to life and puts his name into the forefront of people’ minds and dare I say, onto some ‘Best MelodicRock album’ lists for 2016.

     

    Making Promise a family affair, Jace performs vocals, keyboards, bass and drums as well as enlisting Dad Dennis as well as little brother Trevor for some additional guitar parts. Mr. Busy, Eric Ragno joins in the fun on a couple of tracks.

    This is a stellar album it has to be said. Ty Sims co-produces and mixes the album, which is why it sounds so good and the songs are nothing short of melodic ear candy.

    Jace’s vocals are spot on – his higher register tone may not appeal to all, but anyone that owns and appreciates Rob Moratti/Final Frontier or Rockarma/Damon Kelly should have no problem with Jace.

     

    Plus you’ve got the bonus of 10 catchy classic melodic rock / AOR style songs to grab hold of.

    Highlights are many – there’s no fillers here. But to showcase a few of the songs – the opening anthem Tonight Is Everything rules; the moody Can’t Find Your Heart is one of the best mid-tempo melodic songs of the year; the Foreigner-esque ballad Nothing But Rain is haunting; Before You Run has one of the bigger choruses this year and Every Now And Then is a stand out ballad.

     

    Great production, pure 80s AOR with a modern production and some truly memorable classic style songs that should impress most fans of the genre in its purest and most loved form.

     

    Don’t make this album an only child Jace!

    Kinda shocked that no one started a thread about this release...

    'Cause they suck?

     

    ;)

    When has that ever stopped you from starting a thread?

     

    ;}

    Ha ha true.

     

    Although quite a lot dont suck either ;)

    No... it's martinsane that posts all the bands that suck! :P:gone:

    Ha just saw this it's funny cause apparently it's true.

     

     

    It's all in fun man! No hate! Keep posting 'em!!

  4. I thought Bang! was about as good as it could have been under the circumstances.

    Solid, good album for me. Better than Firebirth.

     

    Rockaholic was also a pretty great CD, but then I don't compare to old work.

    Most Warrant fans will always be comparing everything to DRFSR and Cherry Pie.

    I like to think I can listen to each album on its own with an open mind.

    Which is why I love Belly To Belly, where most people don't give it the time of day.

     

    Bang! was a killer disc. A few fillers but quite a few great tunes also.

    New Album "Silver"

    There’s reason to celebrate! 25 years GOTTHARD mean that we’ve left Paper, Leather, Wood, Crystal and China behind us, and can properly drink to the Silver Wedding. A quarter of a century of band history is a decent anniversary and appropriately molded into “SILVER”. Three months before the official release on January 13, it’s clear that we should pick the little black dress up from the dry cleaners and iron the good shirt, because dressing up for “SILVER” is only fair as the record sports quite a fancy look as well!

    FIRE ROSE - Devil On High Heels (2016)

     

    FIRE%2BROSE%2B-%2BDevil%2BOn%2BHigh%2BHe

     

    “Devil On High Heels” is the debut album from FIRE ROSE, a Swiss band formed not long ago yet including experienced musicians from the local scene.

     

    Their music is classic '80s hard rock with a strong middle-80s European style, think German / Danish bands from the era.

     

    You can tell Fire Rose was founded by guitarist Simon Giese, as “Devil On High Heels” is a true guitar driven album. There's lot of riffs & solos here, but also powerhouse vocals by Pascal Dahinden’s who owns that classic raspy output, plus we find quite anthemic choruses.

     

    Dahinden is no longer with the band having left after the recording due to personal problems and bassist, Adrian Thommen, sadly passed away. This album will surely keep a bit of him alive.

     

    As said, Fire Rose is classic '80s Hard Rock but with a punchy modern production, and a one really one for sure despite being self-managed.

     

    Opener 'Wheels On Fire' is one of the highlights, a really catchy hard rocker with a pumping rhythm section, sharp guitars and a huge chorus ready for the arenas.

     

    FIRE%2BROSE%2B-%2BDevil%2BOn%2BHigh%2BHe

     

    "Fire 'n' Ice" adds more groove in the vein of Fate, then the highly melodic 'Fades To Grey' has a Jaded Heart and German overall influence as well, another highlight for me.

     

    Some tracks like 'Falling' go a bit for a metallic edge, as well as the anthemic 'Together We Stand', while 'Don't Need Somebody' and 'Devil On High Heels' have a more classic hard rock feel.

     

    They can craft a quite powerful ballad too on 'I Love You' (Gotthard influences), and a party-rocker in 'Tequila'.

     

    “Devil On High Heels” is one of the best albums I heard from a Swiss hard rock band in a while. Fire Rose has the chops, the musicianship and they know how to write a classy song in this genre.

     

    There's variety as well; hard rockers with groove & melody, more edgy metallic numbers, ballads, all wrapped by a really good production.

     

    Solid stuff. Chapeau!
