It’s entitled “Americocain” and one can hear that this is from the 80s Metal scene. The song that ends the record is an old demo song from 1985 which was released as a bonus track in Europe. The similarities are huge, and when the music is put through this production it is impossible to avoid being compared to the old rockers. This is Led Zeppelin only with a different vocalist. One wouldn’t be wrong in saying that this band is inspired by Led Zeppelin, just listen to the following song “Sunrise”. “Slide” is another “Zeppelin-clone” with great riffs and a groove that reaches your heart, making you scream for more! It’s followed by the second ballad entitled “Interface” featuring beautiful vocal harmonies and melodies. Nuno Bettencourt should have a medal for his tremendous playing it’s pure Rock N’ Roll. It’s simple, moody and again it is the guitar that makes the song interesting.
“Last Hour” is the first of three ballads. It’s only the guitar work of Nuno that lifts this song a little. It’s one of the weaker moments of this record, in despite of the previous three songs. “Learn To Love” has a very rough sound to it, energetic riffs and catchy hooks.įourth song heading out of this record is something you wouldn’t expect an up-tempo Country Rock tune. Another riff-based song follows this one. They actually sound a bit like Led Zeppelin during the intro, and the “Zeppelin – expression” fits the dirty production which sounds like it’s taken from somewhere in the 70s. The second song “Comfortably Dumb” takes the same path as the opener with bluesy riffs and funky rhythms. It has been a long time for the fans but this was absolutely an album worth the waiting! The brand new record entitled Saudades de Rock is the first album to be released in thirteen years. In 2004 they started playing again and in 2008 a new album was released. Gary went on to become the lead singer for Van Halen for a short period and Nuno went on with a solo career. It was certified gold and gained them 2x platinum in the autumn of 1992. Especially their 1990 release Pornograffitti gained them a lot of success. The band were formed way back in 1985 and has to this date released five studio albums and sold over ten million units worldwide.
But for those who did, they might remember them. Nuno Bettencourt who does a tremendous job with his 6-stringer on this album.Įxtreme, which is an American band may be totally unknown for those that did not experience the 80s. What a fantastic groove! Midway in the song you’re presented to the first awesome solo from Mr. Wow, that was an unexpected opening for sure! The bluesy rocker which opens this album is entitled “Star” and starts with some very strange vocal harmonies that leave your face looking like a question mark! Recovering from the shock you’re tossed out into some very cool bluesy licks and you must have some hell of self-control not to let your foot stomp the beat.
