Decoy
is a collaboration between the Danish songwriter and guitarist
Torben Enevoldsen (Section A, Fatal Force) and Swedish
singer Peter Sundell (Ex-Grand Illusion).
Decoy is completed
by drummer Thomas Heintzelmann and their debut album I’m sitting
here with is called “Call of the Wild”… a quite good Hard Rock
album.
Musically
we get everything from Melodic Rock to Hard Rock and even
traditionally Heavy Metal and this really shows the variability of
Decoy. So, there’s something for almost every fan of Rock and Metal
to be found on “Call of the Wild”.
Well, the
first time I threw it in my hard-tried CD-player I wasn’t exactly
thrilled but after 3-4 listens the music slowly but surely began to
grow on me. The guitar riffs sounds simple and are very memorable
and Peter Sundell’s voice are a little rougher than what I’m use to
from Grand Illusion. The guitar solos from Torben Enevoldsen
are great… he is not overdoing it. You know, some guitarist
tend to get a bit monotonous when it’s nothing
but nine minutes of guitar shredding… but it’s not the case here,
the solos are short but very memorable and
never boring or to self indulgent.
My
favourite tracks are the harder tracks; “Heavy Metal Thunder”
(not a cover of Saxon), “Make a Stand” and “My Religion”,
however the more melodic side of Decoy is great too, the
whole album just need some time to grow.
“Call of
the Wild" comes with 11 tracks and a fine production so do check it
out when it hit the stores in April.
