The band 'Blood Red Saints' has been around since 2014 and has already released 3 albums, the last one, 'Pulse' dating back to 2019 and for which they had signed with 'AOR Heaven' leaving fans of rock and melodic hard-rock a bit perplexed, the production not being up to par and the melodic lines not necessarily very immediate. 2021 sees the release of a new album, 'Undisputed', and the English have now moved to 'Frontiers' (and yes another reviewed album from this label, 'Serafino Perugino' made strong on the releases on August 6 as it's the third album after 'Cruzh' and 'Mayank' and it's not over with two more reviews to follow!!). No need to make you languish, from the first track 'This Ain't A Love Song', we are in the bath of an AOR that brings us back to the best of the 80s with a modern sound for a mid-tempo with a rhythm section that automatically triggers you the headbanging machine. And it continues in the same atmosphere with 'Love Like War' and its addictive guitar riffs, the chorus with its chorus being quite in the style of 'Def Leppard', then, 'Heaven In The Headlights' would certainly have been a hit in the 80s with its heady chorus and 'Breathe Again' continues in this flamboyant AOR, just like 'Caught In The Wreckage' which follows, the only drawback I would have is that the melodic lines of the two tracks, even if they are not in the same tone and in the same tempo, are quite close. The second part of the album doesn't weaken with new addictive melodies which parade one after the other and the beautiful ballad 'Complete' comes at the end of the album to charm us and propose a restful moment before concluding on the mid-tempo 'All I Wanna Do' which ends in a beautiful way this album. In short, it is useless to add, the English of 'Blood Red Saints' release an excellent album of melodic rock which is tasted from the first to the last track and which should make happy all the fans of this style... | |
