It is again the label 'Frontiers' which distributes the new album of the Norwegians of 'Big City', created by the guitarist 'Daniel Olaisen', who are releasing their third studio album, the first two 'Wintersleep' and Big City Life' being respectively released in 2013 and 2018, their second album also including the compositions of the first as a bonus. Their style mixes hard-rock and melodic metal and this last opus has seen the line-up evolve since it is now 'Jørgen Bergersen' who officiates as singer (he is part of 'Rock The Nigh' a cover of 'Europe' ). Everything is therefore implemented to offer us 52 minutes of energy because apart from the power ballad 'I Will Fall', these are heavy compositions which parade with entry 'The Rush' which, after a quiet introduction (process that we will find on several other tracks), gives us a muscular and catchy track, the new singer 'Jørgen Bergersen' having all the power in the voice necessary for this style. The following shows the same melodic and energetic efficiency, and we can cite 'Testify' which was the subject of a video (see above), 'Conception' which alternates the tempos which makes it one of the most varied titles, 'Winds of the Road' with memorable melodic lines, or even 'How Dark Does It Get' which ends the opus with a long title whose construction is more sought after. In short, the Norwegians of 'Big City' are releasing a quality album filled with good energy which should seduce a public navigating between hard-rock and melodic metal... | |
