Starbreaker
"Love's Dying Wish"
Label: Frontiers
Starbreaker is an all star band which is consisted by Τony Harnell (TNT, Westworld, Morning Wood) on vocals, Magnus Karlsson (Allen / Lande, Primal Fear) on guitar, Fabrizio Grossi (Glenn Hughes, House of Lords) on bass and John Macaluso (Malmsteen, TNT, Ark) on drums.
The taste of the band is a combination of new and Scandinavian metal. Heavy guitars on the taste of Pantera, while the melodic harmonies of Τony Harnell, make a fine combination of melody and heavy-rock. I can’t say that anyone could recognise the catchy couplets and melodies like we were used to do with TNT. After all, every artist has to evolve, following new directions and tastes in order to remain to the stardom of music, and I am sure that Starbreaker, were thinking like that when they recorded that cd. The result is awesome, and I believe that they achieved their task. My one and only objection concerns the timing of the release, since this is a “dark” album, in my opinion the release would be more suitable to be done during Autumn or winter anyway...
The cd has a very good production and the total result is fair for the listener. The guitars of Magnus are awesome, while Tony is at his best. I would like to make a reference to some tracks as the most characteristic, “End of Alone”, the self titled track “Love‘s Dying Wish”, the “Unknown Superstar” and the “Building a Wall” which has a fantastic solo.
Keep on Rockin guys!!
