Coldspell / Infinite Stargaze (2009)

This is a very good album. Coldspell comes from Sweden and were formed in 2005 by guitarist and songwriter Michael Larsson, who was previously with the band R.A.W.. Together with Tommi Partanen on bass, Matti Eklund on keyboards, Tobbe Brostrom on drums and Niclas Swedentorp on lead vocals recorded and released in 2009 their debut album "Infinite Stargaze". An album which is a combination of the hard rock scene of the 80's with some heavier guitars at moments, a really impressing singer and a loud and clear production.  This album was recorded by Pelle Saether at Studio Underground in Sweden and was mixed and mastered by the mighty Tommy Hansen (Pretty Maids, TNT, Jorn, Helloween) at Jailhouse Studios in Denmark. Some influences from Whitesnake and Badlands can be heard here but the guys have their own indentity too. So if you are looking for some 'balsy' and big heavy rock album in an old fashioned way then don't look any further, "Infinite Stargaze" is the right album for ya!
