Geoff Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 1. A Dark New Day (Intro) (0:47) 2. Breaking Down (3:56) 3. Some Will Be Saved (3:43) 4. Rescue Me (3:42) 5. The Chase (4:00) 6. No Sorrow (4:38) 7. Remember (3:33) 8. Follow Me Down (3:10) 9. Pry (3:30) 10. Walk Through The Fire (3:17) 11. Last Time (3:54) 12. Rise Again (4:35) 13. Show Me (4:13) 14. Sins Of Me (4:16) 15. Denying The Demons (4:01) Another pretty good disc from 2012 from this US band. Almost modern hard rock in places but a lot of nice melodic and catchy choruses, almost reminding me of old Dokken in places, and Aussie band Empire. The sound is a little raw, but there is no better example of this album than this tune, which is my favourite on the CD. Killer song.

darin Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Very nice indeed. I do get a Dokken vibe. Is this a digital only release? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightrain Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 The song is a nice one, G but how do you rate the whole album? Is it worth the purchase? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 The song is a nice one, G but how do you rate the whole album? Is it worth the purchase? I thought it was quite good personally. Not perfect, but a good sound and pretty consistent along the way. Some quite nice melodic hard rock choruses. A slight modern touch, one might say, and not an absolute perfect production job. It won't be the best CD you ever hear, but I reckon it's pretty good. Here's the full news: 1. A Dark New Day (Intro) (0:47) - intro - 2. Breaking Down (3:56) - good hard rock opener with a nice melodic chorus - 7.50 3. Some Will Be Saved (3:43) - another good heavy melodic rocker - 7.25 4. Rescue Me (3:42) - very good war tune with a killer chorus - 8.50 5. The Chase (4:00) - solid modern hard rocker - 6.50 6. No Sorrow (4:38) - solid hard rocker - 6.75 7. Remember (3:33) - good melodic hard rocker with a great chorus - 7.75 8. Follow Me Down (3:10) - good hard rocker - 7.00 9. Pry (3:30) - solid hard rocker - 6.50 10. Walk Through The Fire (3:17) - another good melodic hard rocker with a strong chorus - 7.00 11. Last Time (3:54) - solid hard rocker - 6.75 12. Rise Again (4:35) - another good hard rocker with a good chorus - 7.00 13. Show Me (4:13) - nice slower hard rocker - 7.25 14. Sins Of Me (4:16) - good hard rocker - 7.00 15. Denying The Demons (4:01) - good solid closing hard rock closer - 7.00 TOTAL SCORE - 71% It's one of those discs that would actually benefit from 5 less tracks. Lose the intro and 5 of the weaker songs and you have a great 10 song disc. Try to find some more samples on youtube before forking out if you're not sure.

Reverend Mayhem Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Checked this out on Rhapsody. I think you summed it up well, Geoff -- pretty good, but not amazing. Definitely shows promise. To me it sounded like Dokken (especially the vocals) with Zakk Wylde on guitar. Some nice choruses, as you say. A bit too much downtuned guitar and double kick drums for my taste, but otherwise some good melodic qualities. The production is a little thin, somewhat top-end heavy. Haven't decided yet whether it's worth owning or not.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
