Jelusick - Follow The Blind Man

Pretty solid. I'm actually not sure I've ever heard this band before. Might check out the debut?

Er...this is the debut album from em...unless you're thinking of his previous band Animal Drive? who were hit and miss for me.

Oh shit, lol. So we're still talking about an album that is yet to be released, dating back to 2021? Guess I haven't missed the bus yet, then.

Pretty solid album, but nothing to get me overly excited. Solid throughout. 

[Mafisen]

Agree with Geoff.

Yeah its pretty good,was expecting a few melodic rock numbers though(maybe just based on the Whitesnake link)...and I  ain't a fan of the hardcore screaming he does in a few tracks

Absolutely.

Great melodic metal for the most part, totally let down by that odd emo growl vocal.  Pick a lane, be Slipknot or be a decent singer.

The best moments remind me of Worldchanger by Jorn.

But that shouting shit, meh, I'm unlikely to listen to it much in the future.

Hope he does an album with Michele Luppi, Doug Aldrich, Reb Beach, Marco Mendoza and Tommy Aldridge one day!

didn't do much for me overall

I wasn't that impressed with Dirty Shirley so I'm probably not going to get this release.

I got Dirty Shirley and don't remember a thing about it...

Glad I picked this one up. At first it hits like a ten tonne truck, but on each subsequent listen the strong melodies come out more and more. Yep on the heavier side of hard rock but there are certainly some softer tracks. The title track stands out in that regards, as does The Great Divide. 

So many really good tracks. I count my favourites as Fly High Again, The Healer, The Great Divide, Chaos Master, Reign of Vultures as the real standouts. And that is a lot of tracks from one album. If you haven't picked this up, and you like heavier hard rock, do yourself a favour!
