A band from the industrytown of Hofors, Sweden. This is their 2nd album and they play a kind of much heard-before lightweight punk-hardrock with a poppy approach. They do it fairly good though.
1)Blessed with a burden (8,0) Very good start. Intensive, melodic and happy good-feeling summer radiorock.
2)High noon (6,5) Good refrain but otherwise rather boring.
3)Halo (7,5) A nice melodic powerballad.
4)Awake (6,5) Okey but too mellow and sweet after a ballad.
5)Rib caged (7,0) Nice riff and an exploding refrain and blistering guitarsolo.
6)Miracles (7,5) A good rocksong while driving the car!
7)Ghost (7,5) An energic song with very good refrain. I like the heavy riffing at the end.
8)Honesty (8,0) A very nice calm song with wonderful melodic singing.
9)When silence sleeps (7,0) An okey punk-popsong.
10)Vade mecum (6,5) A slow and melodic song with both acoustic and electric guitar.
11)All this time (7,0) A mix of heavy and soft stuff.
Score: 7,18
