Like a Norwegian Justin Bieber, PelleK - the band's lead singer, rose to fame by singing in homemade videos on YouTube. But, unlike the "Beibmeister", PelleK prefers music of the heavier sort; particularly power and symphonic metal. And now, after years of amateur online videos, PelleK has teamed up with Damnation Angels from across the sea, to produce one of his first professional releases. More»
HARD is a Swedish / Hungarian band that plays just as their name says - Hard Rock. The first thing you will notice in this band's sound is as if they were pulled out by a time machine straight from 1986. Lodin, the singer, has a strong voice that sounded to me like a mix between DEEP PURPLE's Ian Gillian, ACCEPT's UDO and AC/DC's Bon Scott. This record definitely has a nostalgic feel to it, I really felt as if I was driving a corvette back in 1986 while listening while driving.
Safe. If you like your AOR that way, then try it. I just found this one to be so bland, run-of-the-mill and boring... couldn't get into it at all. I think 'Stay' was okay-ish and maybe a song towards the end too, but to be honest I cast this album aside never to be played again.

I didn’t feel something close to a sheer heart attack, but at least I cheered for what went on in my ears for nearly forty plus minutes of listening. From the freezing and pale land of Finland, especially now at the cold winter time, I was introduced to SHEAR, a six piece band led by a female vocalist that surprised me, by the label of Lifeforce Records.
