REVIEW: GINEVRA, We Belong To The Stars (Frontiers Music s.r.l. Release: 16 September 2022)

GINEVRA is the brand new and very exciting band that was presented to us by Frontiers Music. It consists of guitar wizzard Magnus Karlsson (The Ferrymen, Primal Fear), bassist Jimmy Jay (H.E.A.T.), drummer Magnus Ulfstedt (ex-Eclipse, Nordic Union) and the amazing vocalist Kristian Fyhr (Seventh Crystal) GINEVRA's debut is a true masterpiece!

Somewhere between Seventh Crystal, Crowne and Eclipse CINEVRA is a band that with "We Belong To The Stars" promises to leave us speachless. Amazing harmonies, excellent guitar lines by Magnus Karlsson and breathtaking vocal lines by Fyhr are some of the ingredients here.

"Siren's Calling", "Unbreakable" and "Apologize" are the first three songs of the debut and the first three highlights. A damn powerful rhythm section along with these excellent ultra catchy choruses and the in-your-face perfromances from a very talented vocalist makes a pretty impresive start for this little gem of an album.  

The moodier "Masquerade" (feat. Chez Kane) is just a killer power ballad while with "Break The Silence" the band is delivering a more heavy track. "Brokenhearted"is probably one of the debut's best songs. A more fast-paced, more aggresive, modern melodic metal beast that takes no prisoners!! "I'll Be Around", "The Fight" and "My Rock N' Roll" are all three great samples out of the new effort. 

For sure one of this year's Frontiers Music best releases. And for damn sure one of this year's best albums to-date, no doubt bout that! A great opus that combines perfectly the heaviness with melody and it contains only killer songs in it! If you love bands such as Art Nation, Seventh Crystal, Eclipse and Crowne, then look no further! Killer release!
