Pure
female metal bands is nothing I stumbles over so
often. Oldies as Girlschool, The Runaways and
newer Crucified Barbara are the all female band I
knew about but... so I did a 'google search' and
found
www.metaladies.com. One of the bands on the
site is Fourever from Olofström in Sweden that
releases their debut album on Fastball Music in
May.
Fourever began their musical voyage back in the
Fall of 2000 and after some changes through time
the band is nowadays 3 tough chicks that have
polished and waxed their songs and guitar riffs
with a style and elegance, which has both raw and
melodic loops with nice melodies and heavy
tempo changes. Well crafted heavy metal tracks with
attitude and far more heavier than I expected,
when I saw a picture of the band a before my first spin (appearances can deceive).
Mia Moilanen on guitar and vocals is a star to
come, with her twin sister Nina Moilanen on the
drums and Majja Persson on the bass I
believe with right contacts and bigger support
from labels, this would be a band that we will hear more
about in the future. "Shout! Shout My Name" is a
rocking and catchy track with a cool refreshing
vocals. The progressive track "I'm Sorry" turns
into a strong heavy metal tune with big
opportunities to be a 'Live' favourite. "Come with
Me" is a calm tune with sensitive touch and great
guitar playing.
The sound is yet little hollow and thin sometimes
and if you are only 3 musicians it demands that the
production is strong.
I hope to hear more of these
girls. Good luck.
