Black Paisley is a band that hails from Sweden and "Human Nature" is Black Paisley's fourth full-length effort. The band managed to sign and meet up with icon Mike Fraser at Armoury Studios in Vancouver (mixing - 5 AC/DC albums, The Cult, Aerosmith, Metallica) and Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound in Nashville handled the mastering (AC/DC, Adele, Ozzy & Greta Van Fleet), to help them out with Set Me On Fire and Human Nature.This was, of course, a great experience for all the members, but, also, a humbling realization of already having a great team in place back in Stockholm.
The sound here can be described as classic rock/hard rock with a strong dose of some modern melodic rock 'pinches' that makes the final result a damn pleasant ride through Black Paisley's world.
Songs such as "Silent Asylum", the edgy "Set Me On Fire", "Not Alone" and "Don't Call Me A Liar" are all some great samples of pure classic mid 80's, early 90's, hard rock stuff! Edgy guitars, a damn solid rythm section and some cool vocals are the ingredients here! "Mojo" is one of the new album's best moments; more laid-back with a simply breathtaking, almost pop-rock vibe and a sweet chorus line that made me push the repeat button several times! Excellent!!! In "Hard Times" we have yet another highlight out of "Human Nature". A song that reminded me a lot of THUNDER's earlier works!! "Crazy" is more commercial with a nice feel-good vibe in it while "Set Me Free" is bad-ass rockin' tune that must be played on a maximum volume!!!
All in all, Black Paisley's "Human Nature" is a totally enjoyable rock record from start to finish that can't be missed by any rock fan in general! Do a favour to yourself and check this little gem! You won't regret it!!
