Having accompanied the band\u2019s adventure from the start and simply love what this five-piece does from the bottom of my heart, I might not be neutral from scratch. Being the sixth studio effort already but nevertheless the album title fits in a way because it\u2019s basically the first release with Erik Gr\u00f6nwall (v), who made the band sound harder on the previous three efforts, to fully connect with the first two releases. Extremely melodic – just take the first two singles \u201cOne By One\u201c and \u201cRise\u201c – but with a good portion of heaviness and an exceptional sense for great arrangements. After a rather modern, but stellar groovy opener (\u201cRock You Body\u201c), you get heavy anthems (\u201cWe Are Gods\u201c or \u201cVictory\u201c), potential hit singles that actually didn\u2019t become a single at all (\u201cAdrenaline\u201c or \u201cUnder The Gun\u201c) and heart-warming ballads reminiscent of the mighty EUROPE (\u201cNothing To Say\u201c). It\u2019s the fourth (studio) record with Gr\u00f6nwall singing but it actually sounds like a fresh start. The very best songs since the legendary first two releases of the band. And as the icing of the cake they offer a massive production that can easily be compared with NICKELBACK – only soundwise, of course! – who absolutely set the mark for the sound of a contemporary rock record with their outputs years ago. Well done! H.E.A.T. are (really) back for good! The saviors of melodic rock! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
