He wrote the poet Quevedo " God save you , reader, long prologues " , so get to it , so we find ourselves better in the style of a BLACKJACK which continue the path set with his debut "All In" 2012 , if you look at the cover of the album is remembered in one of the posters , wanting to mention at this point that Jesus Sarrión Cotillas has made several illustrations for this second release bLACKJACK .
"Blood red skies " ( has nothing to do with the subject of JUDAS PRIEST ) kicks out with his broken English intoned hoarsely Thomas Quilez . Composition entering the first , very metallic sound and a feast for the lead guitars .
And from that beginning we find similarities in the other tracks , showing that composers are at the mercy of their inclinations , which are easy to build and assimilate issues with way too much guitar playing , with one foot in the Heavy and another at the Hard Rock ( "Kiss of fire" ) , others with a persistent double bass ( " Western Sun" ) and coreables songs from beginning to end ( "Hard rock is my only sound" ) , but most structures made to enter as a harpoon in your skin at first listen .
Metal Mirror Studios Recorded by the group itself , the sound is very raw, first shots , almost directly , without trick or trap , very honest where the guitars are in a constant state of change . Twelve songs with nerve resting a bit on some issues , such as " A song for you" , seventh issue that certainly will remind GUNS N ROSES and its well-known version of BOB DYLAN or adaptation BLACKJACK make that topic in Castilian in "A Song for You" acoustic guitars that are as relaxed as a disc whose nearly fifty minutes end with " Harry is your man ," another topic something different, not as visceral as above, with the help of his friend Rosendo , Reverend , harmonica and where it is impossible not to think of ZZ TOP .
For fans of bands like the aforementioned or other type Krokus , ROSE TATTOO , AIRBOURNE or THE ANSWER, ie seeking a live rock sound and if you have the opportunity to enjoy live sure sounds almost identical to what you have heard in the recording studio , this second disc bLACKJACK may prove interesting.
