Second
album for HOUSE OF MIRRORS,
their debut is called, “Nightflight
to Paradise” and was released in 2004. I’m
not familiar with the debut album so I can’t compare them, but this
brand new release should be faster, more aggressive, but still melodic.
At
first I was quite disappointed with “Desolation” but of course I
gave it another chance
and now I like it a lot. Musically
the variation is great… we get every thing from Melodic Rock and Hard
Rock to Melodic… very Melodic Metal.
The
choruses are catchy they just need a few spins and the musicians know
what they are doing here. I
can’t help it… but I compare them very much with another Finnish
band ALTARIA.
This is indeed a very pleasant album that easily could satisfy most Melodic
Hard Rock and Metal fans out here.
Still,
nothing new and groundbreaking but a very enjoyable album. Maybe
the ballad “Where are you Now” is a little too close to a KISS ballad called
“Reason to Live”…? The guitar riff in the beginning of this song
is an exact
copy of the riff in “Reason to Live”.
But I can live with that.
Do
check this album out if you are into Melodic Hard Rock or Melodic Metal.
