<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nFROZEN RAIN are\u00a0Kurt Vereecke:<\/strong>\u00a0Keyboards, bass, clean guitar & backing vocals;\u00a0Lars Edvall:<\/strong>\u00a0Lead & backing vocals;\u00a0Jens Ambrosch:<\/strong>\u00a0Lead & rhythm guitar;\u00a0Jurgen Vitrier:<\/strong>\u00a0Keyboards, bass, acoustic guitar & backing vocals;\u00a0Hans Vereecke:<\/strong>\u00a0Drums. It is worth noting among the invited musicians the drummer\u00a0Roy Nichol\u00a0<\/strong>(April Wine), the guitarist\u00a0Roger Ljunggren (<\/strong>T\u2019Bell\/Niva) and the excellent guitarist from the Canary Islands\u00a0Fran Alonso\u00a0<\/strong>(Krull\/Hackers).<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the current captivating simplicity of the Greek project Strangerland or the capital quality of StormWarning it is presented in 2023. And with the beloved musical nostalgia of, for example,\u00a0The Storm, Tradia\u00a0<\/strong>or\u00a0Steel Breeze,\u00a0<\/strong>an AOR packed with a lot of melodic faith is transmitted on “One Mile From Heartsville”. Both in this initial title track and in the album as a whole, that kidnapping sound that captivates us at first listen rubs our souls. The bass rumbles correctly in the rhythm, the songs have a melodic body, the bombastic keyboards attract you, the guitars have sinewy muscle, the guitar solos opt for a young John Norum, the singer flattens like Mitch Malloy and the high voices seduce us. “Move On”<\/strong> sports a chilling intro and a monstrous\u00a0Magnum\u00a0<\/strong>wave guitar and keyboard development, it expresses itself powerfully with a gritty Hard Aor and guts outside. In “Let Me Love You”<\/strong> they repeat those wonderful instrumental introductions in a\u00a0Gary Moore\u00a0<\/strong>context and walk with\u00a0Giuffria\u2019s\u00a0<\/strong>elegant walk. Succulent song that transforms into Road Rock with virtuous and dominant guitar, high and changing tempos of incessant intensity. The voice adapts in “One Of These Mornings”<\/strong> to\u00a0Chicago<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Toto\u00a0<\/strong>by Joseph Williams, to the Old Retro Wave with a sense of Hi-Tech Aor by\u00a0Peter Cetera, Mr. Mister, Body Electric, Planet 3, West of Sunset, Toys of Joy, Time Gallery, Work of Art<\/strong>\u2026or\u00a0Generation Radio<\/strong>. Next, he is characterized as the main protagonist in an innocent melodious Westcoast, magical Soul with beautiful female choirs, light and romantic music for a very cuddly Crooner, with cinematographic ambition is “More Than A Friend”<\/strong>. Delicious!!!. The exquisite guitar input and the happy Hard riffs in “What’s It Gonna Be”<\/strong> sound like\u00a0Danger Danger<\/strong>\u00a0to me, they ignite with a very melodic and wild compositional powder. This singer hunts his melodies on the fly like Ted Poley and the guitarist is a phenomenon. They are as typically appetizing on “Ready For Tonight”<\/strong> as\u00a0Europe\u00a0<\/strong>was with their European sound to conquer the world. In that continuist category of those initials\u00a0FM, Treat, Alien, Glory, Talk of the Town, Bad Habit, Return\u00a0<\/strong>or\u00a0DaVinci\u00a0<\/strong>we can properly relate to Frozen Rain<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For samples, “That’s Why I’m Loving You”<\/strong>, with its tempting youthful musical provocation, or “The Waiting’s<\/strong> Over”<\/strong> through those tuned guitars in the\u00a0Giant\u00a0<\/strong>key, large and tremendous keyboards, decisive drums, walled bass and select voice, in person shy and correct but with a captivating and very attractive profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Frozen Rain<\/strong>, you will like it\u2026 a lot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Third album, very spaced out in time, for the Frozen Rain project led by the Belgian composer\u00a0Kurt Vereecke.\u00a0After the debut of 2008 and its follow-up\u00a0\u00abAhead<\/p>\n
Third album, very spaced out in time, for the Frozen Rain<\/strong> project led by the Belgian composer\u00a0Kurt Vereecke.<\/strong>\u00a0After the debut of 2008 and its follow-up\u00a0\u00abAhead of time\u00bb<\/em>\u00a0in 2012, this new album is announced by\u00a0Lions Pride Music<\/strong>\u00a0for October 30th. The name of the group proposes a Rock of wet sensibility, the intentional meaning of the title and the desired destination represented on the cover, let us see clearly that this album is aimed at the charming heart of Melodic Rock and all its followers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Fire”<\/strong> goes back to the laws of the melodic 80\u2019s with full force and feeling. The drummer and the bassist sound human and varied, everything is perfectly adjusted, the singer stands out in his low range and stands out in high oscillations, the choirs burn and the solo parts are luxurious in all the songs. The soft and androgynous Rock of “She’s The One”<\/strong> is velvety, resembling that of the most sugary\u00a0Robby Valentine<\/strong>, the immaculate\u00a0Stryper<\/strong>\u00a0and the airs of\u00a0Dare<\/strong>\u00a0very oxygenated. In “How Could I Know”<\/strong> that contrast of extra melodic voice to G\u00f6ran Edman is materialized with that Hard and vital sound that the entire band interprets. They fly over remote tessituras of\u00a0C.I.T.A.<\/strong>, and without being too similar, the proposal is close to the adorable and linear Gary Hughes with the most rockers of him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
