Their ║ │ │║ debut album ôOne For The Roadö soon followed in ║ │ │║ 2016. Now the band is back with a new singer: ║ │ │║ Italian-Argentinian Leonard F. Guillan. Their ║ │ │║ new album ôQueen Of Heartsö will be released 10 ║ │ │║ August through Frontiers Music slr. So, itÆs ║ │ │║ about time for us to tell you why you should ║ │ │║ listen to this album. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ôQueen Of Heartsö kicks off smoothly with its ║ │ │║ title track. The album feels like a continuation ║ │ │║ of their debut album. The balance between the ║ │ │║ fast groovy riffs and melodic keyboard tunes in ║ │ │║ this song is great. Moreover, Guillan shines in ║ │ │║ this track. He was definitely a good choice to ║ │ │║ replace Pasi Rantanen. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The album in general consists out of a lot of ║ │ │║ groovy songs like ôOne Day Of Your Lifeö, ║ │ │║ ôLiving In a Hurricaneö, ôBerlinö etc. A couple ║ │ │║ of slower tracks like ôStarsö and ôNever Say ║ │ │║ Goodbyeö add a nice variation to the flow of the ║ │ │║ album, while showing a softer and more mellow ║ │ │║ side to the band. A personal highlight for me ║ │ │║ came during ôLearn To Flyö, which has a bit more ║ │ │║ refreshing ideas in the songs, it has a ║ │ │║ different heaviness and I really like how the ║ │ │║ riffs and keyboards come together in this song ║ │ │║ in a nice blend and in the end builds up really ║ │ │║ smoothly. Another one classic track on this ║ │ │║ album is the catchy ôKing For Tonightö. This ║ │ │║ track got stuck in my mind even after listening ║ │ │║ to the album. Once in a while, it decided to pop ║ │ │║ up during unexpected moments. Those are the ║ │ │║ moments when you realize which songs are your ║ │ │║ personal highlights and which not. ôKing For ║ │ │║ Tonightö also has a great mid-paced guitar solo ║ │ │║ and beautiful keyboard melodies. The album ends ║ │ │║ with ôArrivalö, a slower song building up quite ║ │ │║ smoothly to an epic worth-the-while ending which ║ │ │║ encourages to hit the replay button. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The album consists of groovy riffs, with a lot ║ │ │║ of melodic sections. Fans of classic hard rock ║ │ │║ fans such as Whitesnake, Magnum and Deep Purple ║ │ │║ (David Coverdale period, think of ôBurnö) ║ │ │║ rejoice! King CompanyÆs music is mostly guitar ║ │ │║ driven, with subtle hints of keyboards in the ║ │ │║ background, although not excluding epic keyboard ║ │ │║ solo. The subtle nuances of keyboards add more ║ │ │║ melody to the songs. The band is not afraid to ║ │ │║ show their shredding skills in compelling guitar ║ │ │║ solos. The band offers a healthy combination of ║ │ │║ classic hard rock acts, without losing their own ║ │ │║ voice in it and by adding a modern touch to it. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ All-in-all the album has the ability to make you ║ │ │║ addicted immediately. ItÆs an excellent ║ │ │║ continuation of the debut album and one that a ║ │ │║ typical hard rock/heavy metal fanatic will ║ │ │║ definitely enjoy. While the production of the ║ │ │║ album is overall excellent, there were some ║ │ │║ elements that could be improved during the next ║ │ │║ release. The fact that the vocals are quiet in ║ │ │║ the mix, bothered me a bit, especially because ║ │ │║ Guillan is a talented singer. This is clear in ║ │ │║ songs like ôStarsö that should thrive on vocal ║ │ │║ melodies. I have listened to the album through ║ │ │║ many different kinds of speakers, earphones, ║ │ │║ headphones, you name is and always came to the ║ │ │║ same conclusion. This is, however, only a small ║ │ │║ detail and will certainly not take away the fact ║ │ │║ that the album is an excellent addition to my ║ │ │║ music library. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ In general, I would recommend this album to ║ │ │║ anyone who likes hard rock and groovy riffs, ║ │ │║ with powerful vocals and great solos. You surely ║ │ │║ wonÆt regret! ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Review taken from www.tuonelamagazine.com ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Leonard F.
