Thursday, April 10: Gus G., "Don't Tread on Me"

For his third solo album, Gus G. opted for more of a band configuration by utilizing Dennis Ward and Will Hunt for all of Fearless, and “Don’t Tread on Me” indeed felt more like the work of a unit rather than just an excuse for the Firewind guitarist to shred.  Of course there was plenty of shredding, but it was Ward’s vocals that both grounded the tune and stood out on their own: after spending the better part of 20 years mostly behind the boards, the prolific musician had his moment and delivered a sturdy if not shattering performance that fit the more hard rock vibe Gus largely aimed for on his solo records.  The riffing itself was similarly solid, not exactly showing the guitarist’s versatility but rather illustrating that he saw himself as a working musician ready to plug in.

REVIEW: METALITE "Expedition One" AFM Records

Sweden’s METALITE returns with a brand new masterpiece “Exhibition One” that continues to build their legacy towards one of Power Metal’s elite. The album is very relevant and futuristic, which has become their identity and what you expect from the band. They use musical elements outside the norm for Power Metal like some techno and tasteful use of sound effects. Erica Ohlsson is simply one of…

Thursday, November 28: Flotsam and Jetsam, "Smoking Gun"

Jason Bittner joined Flotsam and Jetsam to some amount of fanfare, largely because his arrival immediately upgraded their sound considerably.  For the drummer, playing with the thrash semi-legends was apparently a way of staying in circulation, since he jumped ship to join the more famous Overkill barely three years later.  Nonetheless, he did manage to elevate Flotsam on their self-titled 2016 record, giving numbers like “Smoking Gun” more heft and power and pushing the band, particularly Eric “A.K.” Knutson who sounded hungrier and more committed.  In general, it sounded like the band was trying harder, and “Smoking Gun” found them in sync and in forceful form.  And even if Bittner’s tenure was short-lived, he seemed to have lit something in Flotsam and Jetsam, since from this point their albums were generally more purposeful and focused.
