Lovex - Slave For The Glory


Stefan

Recommended Posts

Lovex returns with a new single this Friday, called "Slave For The Glory" from the forthcoming album "Watch Out!". See info from their record label below:

 

Lovex, the rock band from Tampere, have silently been preparing their third new album. The first single from the upcoming record is called Slave For the Glory and it will be released digitally on Friday February 11th 2011 all over the world except the US on February 15th. The album, Watch Out!, due to be released in May, has been written by the band members themselves and produced by Christian, the band's keyboard player. In January 2011 Lovex renewed their recording contract with EMI, who was also in charge for the release of the band's earlier albums.

 

"The band wanted a considerable change and we thought that the easiest way to accomplish it would be to write and produce the album by ourselves. Therefore, we didn't look for producers outside of the band during the recording process. We composed enough songs for three

 

albums while inhaling fresh influences. Moreover, we were for once able to write an album without any tours, which would have interrupted the recording process. We are really excited about this album and the new contract with EMI. We feel that we have grown up and rediscovered ourselves. We are no longer pretending to be anything else. We do things in a way that is natural for this band and I'm sure that everyone who listens to this album will hear that," says Theon.

Great stuff Stefan. One to definitely add to the list, as their first 2 discs 'Pretend Or Surrender' especially were superb.

Gave this one a sneaky spin last night. I have to ask the burning question which is painfully obvious after the first spin... what the hell were they thinking in releasing that 'Slave for the glory' as the first single? By far the weakest song on the disc, no doubt. Can't for the life of me consider what they were thinking with that choice.

 

On a positive note, the rest of the songs are pretty great. I especially love the "inspiro-rockers" 'Time of your life' and 'One.' Silly, gay lyrics, but great melodic rock songs. I can't remember the last disc off the top of my head but this one seems a lot slicker and more polished than the last one, aimed at the radio whereas the last one rocked pretty hard, if I recall correctly. It's a good choice, though... the album's a good'un.

can't stop listening to this one after more than 5 spins, but looks like it's hard to get a physical pressing of this one.

 

Anyone has any luck finding a cheap one of this gem ?

    • I have a few (two, maybe three?) friends on here who know me and my ongoing fascination with ballads and power ballads. I thought i'd catch you up on the project. As a teen I made a collection of 10 or so mix tapes which i named "Mellow Metal," which looking back makes me chuckle. While the title's alliteration was pleasing to the ears, many of the songs included on the tapes were hardly metal. Ballads by Cheap Trick, Heart, and other such outliers were included in the collection. In August of 2020 i began my journey of an online project by starting a list of every ballad i knew by AOR, Hard Rocks, Heavy Metal, and Hair Metal acts. I crafted criteria for "What Makes a Power Ballad," and the list began to grow. Quickly. In December of that year i lost my oldest son to an overdose, and my enthusiasm and passion for that project evaporated. In the ensuing months, the original domain lapsed and i remained uninspired. The project died. Three years later, I was looking for something to bring me joy — so i revived the project with a new domain of thepowerballadz.com. I began to once again make posts online asking for song suggestions and i realized i had real trouble selling my song choices as POWER BALLADS. People rightfully pushed me on my song choices, and i realized that the term POWER BALLAD was too ... focused. I realized i wanted all mellow songs by bands that i love ... some of which are power ballads, some are just ballads, and yet some aren't even ballads ... just mellow songs. So, I've retooled my criteria from determining what a POWER BALLAD is to determining what songs make the cut to be on my list. I've also decided that the title thepowerballadz isn't working anymore ... so I've gone with theballadz.com. Is that a perfect moniker? Probably not. (Got a better idea? Let me know!) So, HERE is a link to the updated website and HERE is a link to the updated criteria. I'd love to hear thoughts from any ballad (power ballad or not) fans. Thanks guys!

    • I guarantee that virtually nobody here will like this, as it is death metal, but interesting and innovative choices in instrumentation and composition intrigue me. When this song hits the breakdown it takes on very interesting vibe IMO.
