So, sit back, hold your breath and just check out the list of the musicians that contribute with their talent to "Wolves Reign". Ronnie Atkins (Pretty Maids), Michael Vescera (ex- Yngwie Malmsteen), Tony Harnell (TNT), Claus Lessmann (Phantom V), Danny Vaughn (Tyketto), Brad Gillis (Night Ranger), George Lynch (ex-Dokken), Rudi Sarzo (Ozzy Osbourne), Marc Lynn (Gotthard) and Alex Holzwarth (Avantasia) are some (!!!!!!) of the names that help Sweeney and Voss to their new attempt!
The song that kicks-off the new opus is called "Falling". This is one of the best tunes that I've listened to this year. A classic and early Bonfire vibe along with a huge chorus line makes this track one of this year's highlight! "Inside The Animal" is yet another great tune out of the new record. Melodic metal at its best with a cool groove in it and there you have another extremely interesting moment. "Commandments" opens with a superb soloing and transforms into an epic metal hymn. In "Tomorrowland" the duo of Sweeney and Voss delivers a very sentimental and beautiful ballad that includes great arrangements, heartfull vocals and passion! The album closes with a killer song; "I'm Onto You" is simply a breathtaking and more straight forward hard rocker that takes no prisoners! Excellent stuff! I also love the vocal performances of Biff Byford, and the total 80's metal vibe, on the song "Blood Brothers".
If you are a fan of the band's previous works or if you love Euro melodic metal/hard rock, then Wolfpakk with "Wolves Reign" will make your day! Extremely interesting and enjoyable from start to finish!
