Style: Sleaze Hard Rock
Release date: February 6th 2007
 

Danish sleaze rockers SWITCHBLADE are back. The band is still fronted by metal scene legend Ken Anthony (who played a key role in the creation of METALLICA’s career) but the line up has changed a bit. For instance the guitar playing is now performed by none other than Martin Steene (IRON FIRE) and this adding of a very professional guitar player really takes the sound to new heights. The formula is still straight forward Sleaze Rock ala JUNKYARD with a melodic touch to it. SWITCHBLADE hasn’t created anything spectacular and groundbreaking but if you fancy that raw sound of the debut, then this will satisfy your craving even more! 

I’ve heard all the guitar riffs before but as you might know… Once bitten … 

Only thing I don’t like here is the vocal delivery – Ken Anthony may have caused an avalanche or two on the scene but to be honest he’s no singer!

An album that should have been out around 1990. This could’ve potentially given SWITCHBLADE a breakthrough!
