Together this international trio delivers what Lehtisalo refers to as the “New Wave of Finnish Heavy Metal (NWoFHM), which sounds exactly like the late 70s rock of Blue Oyster Cult, Thin Lizzy and Uriah Heap. Their Paranoia debut is a short but sweet slice of earworm-y retro rockers with the same stripped-down feel as the recent Dawnbringer opus, but it’s much more upbeat and easy to like in the same way as High Spirits and especially Slough Feg.
In fact, they manage to out Feg the mighty Slough Feg here, and that’s no easy feat. I suppose you could think of this as the lighter side of Dawnbringer‘s Night of the Hammer. Day of the Luffa, if you will, and it sounds like an musical exhale after darker enterprises. Damn you, Mr. Black. Here I go again!
