Shining Black

Beh, alla fine anche se non nei Labyrinth Olaf & Boals insieme nello stesso progetto.
Qua il facebook del gruppo (made in Frontiers), mercoledì arriveranno altre notizie.

 

Speriamo non sia uno di quei lavori asettici che ogni tanto la frontiers, grandissima etichetta, mette sul mercato. Confido molto in olaf, mi sarebbe piaciuto ascoltare un album dei Lab con boals

 

Olaf non aveva già da un bel po' da parte canzoni per un album solista? Vabbè, a me sinceramente nei Labyrinth Boals non avrebbe fatto impazzire, sentii i suoi demo per i Kamelot e la voce non andava affatto bene.

 

Non sapevo dei Kamelot, anche perchè li ho abbandonati con la dipartita di Roy, ma la notizia che era uno dei pretendenti coi Lab mi aveva incuriosito

 

Li aveva fatti in quel periodo e postati anni fa su youtube, Soul society, Abandoned e Ghost opera.

Official info from the label:

Shining Black is a new band featuring vocalist Mark Boals (Yngwie Malmsteen, Ring Of Fire, Royal Hunt) and guitarist Ölaf Thorsen (Labyrinth, Vision Divine). Their self-titled debut showcases cutting edge melodic metal songwriting techniques from Thorsen combined with the outstanding vocal abilities of Boals.

The roots of this new metal collaboration go back to the year 2014 when the Italian power/progressive metal band Labyrinth was faced with the dilemma of moving forward without their long-time singer Roberto Tiranti. After much consideration, the band chose to work with none other than Mark Boals and started to work on new songs which would have been released on the band’s next album; however, the busy schedule kept by Mark did not fit in with the recording plans the band had at the time. Therefore, Labyrinth after some years on hiatus went ahead with a new record (“Architecture of a God”) once again with Tiranti.

Despite not getting to work together, Mark and Ölaf remained in touch and when the occasion arose, by suggestion from Frontiers, the two artists took the opportunity to work together. Thus the Shining Black project was born. All in all, this is a fabulous melodic metal record which the Frontiers label is beyond proud to present to all the discerning metal fans out there!

Qua il singolo.

 

Me piaceeeeeeeeee!!

 

mmm....secondo me gira un po' a vuoto come pezzo

 

A me non sembra male, melodic metal carino, ma da (quasi) ignorante della voce di Boals mi pare sia mezzo afono..o è proprio il suo timbro?
Ricordo qualcosina dei tempi con Malmsteen ma poca roba
