Album of the playlist 2020 : Melodic rock and hard rock albums of the first semester

We are still heading towards the Scandinavian countries with the Swedes of ‘Skintrade’ which gives us a new opus ‘The Show Must Go On’. This formation had a first period in the 90s with 2 albums 'Skintrade' in 1993 and 'Roach Powder' in 1995. Reformed in 2011, 'The Show Must Go On' is their 4th studio recording of this new period, 2012 having seen the release of 'Past And Present' in 2012 and 'Refuled' in 2014 and ‘Scarred for Life’ in 2015. In this last album, their style is influenced by hard-rock from the 70s with a modern sound and some compositions can make you think of atmospheres of 'Led Zeppelin' ('Chosen Ones', ‘Tower’ or 'Riverof Tears') and they alternate direct and powerful titles and others quieter like 'Show Must Go On' or 'Other Side'.
