German
band Frontline is about
to release “Circles”, the successor to “The Seventh Sign”
(2004) which received good reviews around the world.
Produced
by Robby Böbel (Evidence One) the band continues where they had
stopped with their previous record. Namely with Melodic Hard Rock.
Even
though the music is Melodic the guitars are crunchy and the songs
are okay. However, even after numerous listens the songs are
“only” okay.
To
be honest, I miss a few highlights. The 10 songs are on exactly
the same level. Anyway, the music is crafty Hard Rock, with nice
crunching guitars and even though it's nothing special, it's still
slightly above average. But it loses quite some creative power
over the whole playing time.
Through
the AOR Heaven mail-order, a limited edition of 1000 copies of
this release will be available containing the rare
Japan
only release “Heroes” as free bonus disc.
