Stefan Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Pressrelease from Frontiers Records: Veronica “The V” Freeman is the iconic singer of the Heavy Metal heavyweights Benedictum and THE V marks a major step out of her comfort zone, since it delves into a definite melodic Hard Rock vibe.An impressive array of talent has stepped up to assist THE V in creating her solo project on many levels. The list includes Pete Wells, Aric Avina and Rikard Stjernquist of BENEDICTUM, Michael Sweet (STRYPER), Garry Bordonaro (THE RODS), Jeff Pilson (DOKKEN, FOREIGNER), Mike Lepond (SYMPHONY X), Tony Martin (BLACK SABBATH), Leather Leone (CHASTAIN), Jerry Dixon (WARRANT), Jimmy Durkin (DARK ANGEL), Mick Tucker (TANK), Jordan Ziff (AGE OF EVIL), Derek Kerswill (UNEARTH, KINGDOM OF SORROW), Peter Tentindo (VENUS MARS PROJECT), John Herrera, Ryan Greene, Kenny Lewis, Meliesa McDonell, Michael Harris , Mel Brown and John O’Boyle.Veronica comments: "I had a lot of input and encouragement from Frontiers to try and stretch myself with different musical styles and approaches. It was great to be able to work with Pete Wells writing some of these songs too. So, it was a no-brainer to accept their proposal for a solo album. I am a bit nervous and beyond excited!"Be prepared! If you thought Veronica was just a Heavy Metal Amazon, you’re going to be proven dead wrong! This is a massive Melodic Hard Rock record with some great lead vocals which show a lot of the original influences that brought “THE V” to be one of the most well know and recognized voices in the current Metal scene!THE VVeronica Freeman – Lead vocalsLeather Leone – Duet vocals “Kiss my Lips”Tony Martin - Duet vocals “King for a Day”Meliesa McDonell - additional vocals “Star Shine” & Acoustic guitarsDerek Kerswill - drumsJeff Pilson, Mel Brown, Garry Bordonaro, Aric Avina, John O’Boyle & Mike Lepond - BassPete Wells, Michael Sweet ,Peter Tentindo, Jimmy Durkin, Mick Tucker, Jordan Ziff, Michael Harris – Guitars facebook Tracks: 01.

DaHun72 Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 As annoying as these epks are and some distracting imagery lots of these snippets sound very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 She had me at cleavage... uh, I mean hello. Except she didn't really. The music is pretty awful, but the cleavage is fucking amazing. Perfect rack, awful music. Well, that first chorus is actually pretty nice. Shame about the rest of the song. The next song is crap, though. Yeah, doesn't sound very good but her amazing rack means I may give it a second chance... maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesEagle Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Got to review this one and tried listening to it today. First track is pretty good, but then ... oh dear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLPRocks Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Haven't heard anything to dissuade me from buying it........the track above sounded good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesEagle Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Haven't heard anything to dissuade me from buying it........the track above sounded good enough. I heard one song (probably the one above) thought it sounded good and put my name down to review it. Got half way through my first play of the album and had to turn it off. Just sayin'.

JLPRocks Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Well, I'm going to have to listen to more tracks........what is it about the album that people are not liking? Is it that it's not ferociously heavy with lower registered vocals? Or is it that it's too different than Benedictum? Or is it that the melodies, etc. just suck?

Is it that it's not ferociously heavy with lower registered vocals? Or is it that it's too different than Benedictum? Or is it that the melodies, etc. just suck? Just the tunes. They're pretty weak, whereas the Benedictum albums usually have a few really good songs. But...damn, every time I leave this post I scroll up to see that first pic......DAMN!!! **and I'm a boob guy to begin with....lol** Yeah, they are a little ... distracting.

JamesEagle Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Changed my mind somewhat about the album. It isn't great, but it isn't bad either. Two or three songs I like and a few others that are okay. And in the lyrics of one song, she appears to be demanding oral sex .... I think. Incidentally, the track Stefan posted today is one of the worst ones imo. "Line In The Sand " and "L.O.V.E. " are the standouts for me.
