From FB:

Palace is a Swedish Melodic Hard Rock band founded by the lead singer/guitarist Michael Palace. The band consists of Rick Digorio on guitar, Marcus Johansson on drums and Soufian Ma’Aoui on bass guitar. Heavily influenced by 80’s imagery and sounds, Palace delivers massive arena rock like you’ve never heard it before!

Despite their young age, all of the four members have accumulated a ton of experience playing live and recording with several different acts; both as individuals and at times crossing paths, including: ADRENALINE RUSH, REACH, HOUSTON, FIND ME, GUTTERDÄMERUNG, BIG TIME and MILJENKO MATIJEVIC to name a few.

Delivering a great live performance is just as important as sounding top notch in the studio, and Palace strives after just that. What you hear on the record is what you get live so prepare for an unforgettable experience when Palace is in town!

[The Rocker]

They have "The Look", lets see if they have the sound!

Yeah, I agree. They look very cool and I cannot wait to hear them based on the write up and pic.

[zacharyamelie]

The perfect track for a remake of He-Man.

 

Yep I felt like it was 1985 again while listening to this one. The vocals are alright but the guitar solo was barely existing.

[Darkstone]

That's good stuff.

Looking forward to the album.

[simo]

Not bad, although chorus and pre-chorus sound kinda weird

[Gotthardline]

really good song

 

Keen to hear more

[Dead Planet]

Decent stuff....

[melodicrockoz]

the lead track is a huge nod to the mighty Stan Bush IMHO.

New song:

Same singer and guitarist, production is better in Palace but so far not too crazy about the direction this is going in. Just listen to the solo in ''Public Personality'' from 3:00 - 3:06 min, that's the spirit right there! Let's wait to hear what the rest of the Palace album will sound like.

Not bad, but I think they could have done so much better with the talent and potential they had. It's a shame but I think this won't be for me

[Geoff]

Master of the universe ; corn and cheese mixed together, but kinda cool. I don't mind it.

Part of me ; pretty close to perfection.

Public personality ; really, really weak. This is just an older tune, hey? Does it have anything to do with the new album?

Good enough ; another old tune, I assume. Good stuff. Will a polished version of this be on the new album?

Path to light ; another really nice sounding song.

 

Sounds a bit like Paris/Newman, but possibly a bit better. Sounds like a winner.

Yeah uploaded ''Public Perosnality'' to show what I thought was cool about the old sound and missing in the new songs. In this case: the guitar solo. Otherwise the song is pretty basic, nothing special

 

Good Enough won't be on the album either. Again, this was just to express my disappointment with the new material after such promising demos by the band BIG TIME which featured the Palace singer and guitarist

[Thomas/Coastline]

Wish I had that much hair.

[Stefan]

Great song!

 

[Geoff]

Very nice. Really looking forward to this album.

[simo]

Wish I had that much hair.

Wish I had that much hair, and I'm only 27.

 

Anyway.... On my first spin and I will say this: Man Behind The Gun is a very cool song! This is one of those tracks most of us will immediately like, give it a spin.

Agreed, Man behind the gun is great !

[Gotthardline]

in fact after repeated spins this is a pretty awesome album I have to say
