<p>WAKE THE NATIONS, DESTINOVA &amp; mehr</p>



<p>Heute nehmen wir mal <strong>die verschiedenen Spielarten der Rockmusik </strong>in den Fokus. Dazu haben wir von <strong>metal-heads.de</strong> ein paar neue Songs für euch zusammengestellt. Beginnen wollen wir mit „Bulletproof“. Das ist die zweite Single aus dem kommenden dritten Studioalbum der <strong>finnischen Hard Rocker von WAKE THE NATIONS</strong>. <strong>Die Langrille soll am 13.09.2024 erscheinen, „Heartageddon“ heißen</strong> und statte 13 Lieder enthalten. Wie gefällt euch der Vorgeschmack?</p>

<p>D<strong>ESTINOVA haben das Release ihres neuen Albums mit dem Titel „Arcane“ auf den 25.10.2024 festgesetzt.</strong> Das ist ja noch lange hin. Aber wer schon jetzt eine Portion Alternative Rock des Vierers aufsaugen möchte, dem legen wir die <strong>erste Single namens „Babalocke“</strong> ans Herz. Hier kommt das offizielle Lyric Video dazu:</p>

</div></figure>



<p><strong>Dann haben wir mal wieder ein Debütalbum für euch. Aus Italien stammen SBARCO. </strong>Das Trio hat sich dem <strong>Heavy Rock </strong>verschrieben und am 13.09.2024 will man sein selbst betiteltes Erstlingswerk herausbringen. Als einen der 8 enthaltenen Tracks, spielen wir euch heute <strong>„The future“</strong> vor:</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">WAKE THE NATIONS, DESTINOVA &amp; mehr</h3>



<p><strong>SWEAR BLIND sind im britischen Nottingham beheimatet. </strong>Die drei Herren haben mittlerweile einen Deal bei Gentle Art Of Music unterzeichnet und wollen <strong>Ende 2024 ihr neues Album</strong> in den Handel bringen. Heute haben wir schon mal den<strong> Song „Give up“</strong> als Eindruck für euch am Start, damit ihr eine Idee davon bekommt, wie der <strong>Alternative Rock </strong>des Trios klingt:</p>

</div></figure>



<p>Hard Rock aus Italien steht als nächstes auf dem Programm. <strong>BEAUTIFUL LOSER haben für den 02.09.2024 ihr Debütalbum „Stars 4 a nite“ in der Pipeline. </strong>Der Vierer ist seit 2020 im Rennen und wenn ihr einen Eindruck davon bekommen wollt, wie das musikalisch klingt, dann haben wir heute den <strong>Song „Scarred for life“</strong> für euch im Gepäck. Musik ab:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<p>Wenn ihr den <strong>Titeltrack „Gunsmoke“ vom kommenden Album der TEXAS HIPPIE COALITION</strong> hört, dann fällt es nicht schwer, der Band die Herkunft aus Texas abzunehmen. Die Rocker bringen<strong> am 04.10.2024 ihre neue Studioscheibe</strong> heraus und der Fünfer will 10 Lieder auf die Langrille packen. Das Video zum oben genannten Song gibt es schon jetzt als Appetithappen für euch:</p>

</div></figure>



<p>P<strong>OP EVIL sortieren sich unter modernem Rock ein</strong>. Meiner Meinung nach hört man da auch ein paar deutlich härtere Einflüsse anderer Stile heraus oder was meint ihr? Einerseits wollen wir euch heute verkünden, dass die Band <strong>mit Blake Allison einen neuen Schlagzeuger an Bord</strong> hat. Zum anderen wollen wir euch die<strong> neue Single „What remains“ </strong>vorstellen. Ist das schon der Vorbote auf ein kommendes 8. Studioalbum?</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">CLASSIC/BLUES ROCK &#8211; ROCK &#8218;N&#8216; ROLL- HARD ROCK &#8211; HEAVY ROCK </h4>



<p>Willkommen beim ersten Teil meiner <strong>METALHEADs Toplist 2023</strong>. Ich möchte euch meine persönlichen Favoriten aus den unzähligen Veröffentlichungen des Rock und Metal präsentieren. Auch wenn ich versuche einen Überblick zu behalten, so ist das bei der Masse an Releases schier unmöglich, vor allem wenn man sich in fast allen Genres wohlfühlt. Von daher sind mir bestimmt auch einige tolle Alben durch die Lappen gegangen. Ich hoffe einfach, dass ihr euch einige Anregungen rausfiltern könnt und wünsche euch viel Spaß beim Stöbern. </p>



<p>Es gibt so dermaßen viele Stilrichungen im Rock und Metal, dass es manchmal schwierig ist, Bands in gewisse Schubladen zu stecken. Oft verwischen die Grenzen zwischen verschiedenen Genres, was ich allerdings sehr begrüße, denn es führt zu noch mehr, und mitunter sogar neuen musikalischen Erfahrungen. Daher möge man mir verzeihen, wenn ich Bands in eine Kategorie packe, die vielleicht nicht 100%ig passt und ihr diese eventuell woanders positionieren würdet. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center"><strong>CLASSIC/ BLUES ROCK</strong></h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">GHOST HOUNDS</h3>



<p>aus den U.S.A. sind eine fette Nummer im Rock Business. Die Truppe aus Pittsburgh konnten dieses Jahr mit dem Album &#8222;First Last Time&#8220; begeistern. Sänger Tré Nation hat einfach die perfekte Stimme, um den quirligen Rock zu bedienen. Er hat das gewisse Etwas in der Stimme und weiß damit auch perfekt umzugehen. </p>



<p>&#8222;First Last Time&#8220; von den <strong>GHOST HOUNDS</strong> (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/GhostHounds">Facebook</a>) bietet durch und durch bestechende Songs, welche auch <strong>starke Country Vibes</strong> aufleben lassen. Dafür wären z.B. die Songs &#8222;Here No More&#8220; oder das super flotte &#8222;Hot Dog&#8220; ein gutes Beispiel. Selbstverständlich macht dabei ein Cover des Klassikers &#8222;Country Roads&#8220; auch eine gute Figur. Man kann sich aber darüber hinaus an fetzigen Gitarren in<strong> kraftvollen Songs</strong> wie beispielsweise &#8222;Dirty Angel&#8220; oder &#8222;Make It Shake&#8220; erfreuen. Ich liebe diesen Flair mit dem <strong>Klavier und Streichern</strong>, die dem ganzen noch mehr Atmosphäre verleihen. Es nimmt mich einfach mit. Es gibt eine breite Palette an Songs, die viele Facetten des Rock ausleuchten und somit einen großen Unterhaltungswert haben. </p>

<p><strong>Túsk </strong>(<a href="https://www.facebook.com/TuskIreland">Facebook</a> / <a href="https://tuskireland.bandcamp.com/album/t-sk">Bandcamp</a>) aus Irland konnten in diesem Jahr die Veröffentlichung ihres selbstbetitelten Debütalbums feiern. Mir hat sofort diese<strong> authentische lebendige Art </strong>gefallen, welche mich sofort gepackt hat. Es ist ein wirklich cooles Album, dass man sich anhören sollte. Die Gitarren sind in permanenter Action und peitschen den Sound mit geilen wilden Solos zusätzlich auf. Sänger Jamie brilliert dazu passend mit einer sehr starken inbrünstigen Gesangsleistung.  (<a href="https://metal-heads.de/reviews/tusk-das-debuet-der-blues-rocker-aus-irland/">Review</a>)</p>

<p><em><strong>TÚSK kommen mit einem sehr beeindruckenden Debütalbum daher und präsentieren allerfeinsten Blues Rock. Sie bieten eine feine</strong>&nbsp;<strong>Palette an qualitativ hochwertigen Songs, die handwerklich und technisch über jeden Zweifel erhaben sind.&nbsp;</strong></em></p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">BAD TOUCH</h3>

<p><strong>BAD TOUCH</strong> (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/badtouchrocks">Facebook</a>) aus England kommen mit einer satten Ladung guter Laune daher, die sich in jeder Note des <strong>Albums &#8222;Bittersweet Satisfaction&#8220; </strong>widerspiegelt und ein Feuerwerk guter Laune ist. Sie haben sich schön weiterentwickelt und knallen mal eben 10 super Kracher aus dem Ärmel. Von lässig cool, über modern eingängig bis hin zu mitreißend ekstatisch gibt es hier das komplette Verwöhnprogramm. <strong>Dieses Album lässt auch an dunkelsten Tagen die Sonne scheinen.</strong> (<a href="https://metal-heads.de/reviews/bad-touch-bittersweet-satisfaction-review/">Review</a>)</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p><strong><em>BAD TOUCH sind für mich einer der positivsten Bands, die ich kenne. Sie sind nach wie vor ein Garant für erstklassigen Classic Rock. Auf „Bittersweet Satisfaction“ präsentieren sie sich noch reifer und vielseitiger.&nbsp;</em></strong></p>

<p>Das Album &#8222;Satanic Age&#8220; von <strong>LUCIFER STAR MACHINE</strong> (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/luciferstarmachine">Facebook</a>) hat mich vom ersten Song an direkt abgeholt und mich bis zum letzten nicht mehr losgelassen. Die Songs haben mich hart durchgewirbelt. Einerseits wetzt Euch die Band mit einer groben harten Körnung das Fleisch von den Knochen, können aber andererseits mit Feinschliff geile Melodien in die Songs fräsen, in die man sich einfach verlieben muss. (<a href="https://metal-heads.de/reviews/lucifer-star-machine-satanic-age-review/">Review</a>)</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p><strong><em>LUCIFER STAR MACHINE haben mit ihrem Album „Satanic Age“ ein brandheißes Eisen im Höllenfeuer. Da dreht der Belzebub völlig durch.

<p>Tja, was sollte da noch kommen? Eigentlich war ich mir sicher, dass das keiner mehr übertreffen könnte, aber dann kamen halt <strong>PHIL CAMPBELL AND THE BASTARD SONS</strong> (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/PhilCampbellATBS">Facebook</a>) mit ihrem Album „Kings Of The Asylum“ um die Ecke. PHIL CAMPBELL AND THE BASTARD SONS haben ihrem Sound sozusagen ne Nitro-Einspritzung verpasst. Fehlzündungen kann ich hier absolut keine feststellen. Denn „Kings Of The Asylum“ geht ausnahmslos in die Vollen und bietet dabei ein top ausgearbeitetes Programm an fantastischen Songs. Deshalb küre ich mit einem Hauch Vorsprung das Album &#8222;Kings Of The Asylum&#8220; zum Rock &#8218;N&#8216; Roll Album des Jahres.

<p><strong>FORMOSA</strong> (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/Formosa.Band">Facebook</a>) sind mittlerweile sehr erfolgreich unterwegs und haben sogar ein eigenes Festival ins Leben gerufen, nämlich das &#8218;FORMOSA-Bierfest&#8216;! Und das erfreut sich immer größerer Beliebtheit im Ruhrgebiet. (siehe <a href="https://metal-heads.de/behind-the-scenes/formosa-bierfest-berichtinterview/">Bericht 2022</a> und <a href="https://metal-heads.de/konzertberichte/sonne-party-leckeres-craft-bier-und-satter-hard-rock-das-formosa-bierfest-2023/">Bericht 2023</a>).

<p><strong>RAVENSTINE</strong> (<a href="http://ravenstine.heavyrock">Facebook</a>) waren für mich eine Megaüberraschung.  Als internationale Band (gegründet im COVID 19-Lockdown) sorgten sie mit ihrem selbstbetitelten Debüt für Aufsehen in der Szene. Seitdem konnten sie ihre Fanschar stetig vergrößern. Dies ist auch kein Wunder, denn die musikalische Qualität ist über jeden Zweifel erhaben. <strong>Es werden durchweg knallige Rocksongs geboten, die jeweils ihren eigenen Charme haben und unter anderem mit kuriosen Ideen daherkommen</strong> (z.B. &#8222;Still Alive&#8220;). Ein mitreißendes und bissiges Album! Somit hat diese Band ein Platz in der Bestenliste 2023 sehr wohl verdient. (<a href="https://metal-heads.de/reviews/ravenstine-ravenstine-review/">Review</a> / <a href="https://metal-heads.de/behind-the-scenes/ravenstine-im-interview/">Interview</a>) Und es gibt tolle Neuigkeiten! Denn schon am 12. Januar wird das neue Album &#8222;2024&#8220; präsentiert. Dazu gibt es bald ein Review hier auf &#8218;metal-heads.de&#8216;. </p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">JELUSICK </h3>



<p>Wenn es um technische Vollendung geht, dann ist man bei <strong>JELUSICK</strong> (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/JelusickOfficial">Facebook</a>) genau richtig. Dino Jelusick ist nicht nur ein genialer Sänger, sondern auch ein toller Songwriter. Daran besteht wohl kein Zweifel. Mit einem hohen Anspruch an sich selbst und seinen Mitstreitern wurde nun das <strong>Debüt &#8222;Follow The Blind Man&#8220; </strong>veröffentlicht. Lediglich die drei Balladen fallen bei mir hinter den mitreißenden Songs zurück und wirken nicht so spektakulär wie die restlichen mitreißenden Songs, welche wirklich verdammt klasse sind und eindeutig mit zu den besten Rocksongs gehören, die in diesem Jahr veröffentlicht wurden. (<a href="https://metal-heads.de/reviews/jelusick-follow-the-blind-man-review/">Review</a>) </p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">

<p>Diese Band hat für mich das HARDROCK-Album des Jahres erschaffen. &#8222;Wheels Of Fortune&#8220; hat mich einfach mit seinem 80&#8217;er Jahre-Charme verzaubert. Auf dem Album schenken <strong>FRONT ROW WARRIORS</strong> (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/FRW.official">Facebook</a>) uns nicht nur handwerklich einwandfreie Songs, sondern sie versprühen ihren ganz eigenen Charme, an dem Sängerin Elkie Gee einen großen Anteil hat. Sie hat eine tolle Stimme und liefert hier eine mehr als überzeugende Vorstellung. <strong>Die Songs loten auch die Grenzen zum Melodic/Heavy Metal aus. </strong>Hört euch dieses verrückte Keyboard-Solo in Kombination mit dem großartigen Gitarrensolo bei &#8222;Wheel Of Fortune&#8220; an: !!!! Und dieser Refrain ist einfach zum Niederknien! Ich mag sogar die Power-Ballade &#8222;Love Is Not A Game&#8220; mit ihrem großartigen Refrain.

<p><strong><em>FRONT ROW WARRIORS liefern mit „Wheel Of Fortune“ ein perfektes Album ab. Hier gibt es nichts zu kritisieren. Dabei offenbart sich ein buntes Fest individueller Songs, die mit viel Liebe zum Detail und einem geschmeidigen Händchen für atmosphärische Elemente komponiert worden sind. Darüber hinaus werden die Songs handwerklich von der gesamten Band grandios mit viel Können gerockt. Sängerin Elkie setzt dem Ganzen mit ihrer charismatischen Stimme und ihrer Sangeskunst die Krone auf.</em></strong></p>

<p>Noch mal eine Band aus den U.S.A.! <strong>TEXAS HIPPIE COALATION</strong> (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/texashippiecoalition">Facebook</a>) sind nun wahrlich keine Unbekannten mehr in die Szene. Mit ihrem fetten Rocksound bringen sie ordentlihc Schwung in die Bude.

Seine kraftvolle Stimme ist so rau und massiv wie Felsformationen in der texanischen Wüste.

<p>Another band from the U.S.A.! <strong>TEXAS HIPPIE COALATION </strong>(<a href="https://www.facebook.com/texashippiecoalition">Facebook</a>) are no longer unknown on the scene.

The new album is called<strong> &#8222;The Name Lives On&#8220;</strong>. <strong>The songs groove hard and heavy through the album.</strong> Big Dad Ritch on the mic has a blatant presence and leaves no doubt that he is the right man for the job.

<p>Tatsächlich hat aber die schwedische Band <strong>S.O.R.M.</strong> (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/sormsweden">Facebook</a>) für mich das Album des Jahres im Bereich Heavy Rock auf den Markt gebracht. <strong>&#8222;Under My Skin&#8220; heißt die Wundertüte mit allerlei Krachern auf der Scheibe, wobei es auch mal gefühlvoll zur Sache geht.</strong> <strong>Micke Holm hat eine geniale Stimme,</strong> die unweigerlich an Blackie Lawless von W.A.S.P. erinnert, nur noch kräftiger. Das Trio rockt einen verdammt starken Sound. Sie driften mit &#8222;I Die For My Rock N Roll&#8220; auch gerne mal in der Hardrock Schiene und hauen damit mal eben eine geniale Party Hymne raus oder man gibt sich mal emotional und erschafft eine gefühlvolle Darbietung mit &#8222;Under My Skin&#8220;. Ansonsten gibt es <strong>haufenweise Überraschungen,</strong> die allesamt überzeugen. Dabei geht es auch <strong>verdammt heavy </strong>zur Sache.

<p><strong><em>S.O.R.M schicken mit „Under My Skin“ ein astreines Heavy Rock Album ins Rennen. Es ist ein „Hellride“, der auch mal „Under The Skin“ geht. Es wird beste Unterhaltung geboten.

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">CLASSIC/BLUES ROCK &#8211; ROCK &#8218;N&#8216; ROLL- HARD ROCK &#8211; HEAVY ROCK </h4>



<p>Welcome to the first part of my <strong>METALHEADs Toplist 2023</strong>. I would like to present you my personal favorites from the countless releases of Rock and Metal. Even if I try to keep an overview, it&#8217;s almost impossible with the mass of releases, especially if you feel comfortable in almost all genres. And that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m sure some great albums have slipped through my fingers. I just hope you  have fun browsing through my toplists.</p>



<p>There are so many styles in rock and metal that it&#8217;s sometimes difficult to pigeonhole bands. Often the boundaries between different genres become blurred, which I welcome, because it leads to even more, and sometimes even new musical experiences. So please forgive me if I put bands in a category that might not fit 100% and you might put them somewhere else.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center"><strong>CLASSIC/ BLUES ROCK</strong></h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">GHOST HOUNDS</h3>



<p>from the U.S.A. are a big name in the rock business. The band from Pittsburgh impressed audiences this year with their <strong>album &#8222;First Last Time&#8220;</strong>. Singer Tré Nation simply has the perfect voice to deliver this kind of rock music. He has the perfect voice for that and he knows how to use it. </p>



<p>&#8222;First Last Time&#8220; by <strong>GHOST HOUNDS</strong> (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/GhostHounds">Facebook</a>) offers thoroughly captivating songs, which also bring <strong>strong country vibes</strong> to life. The songs &#8222;Here No More&#8220; or the super rousing &#8222;Hot Dog&#8220; are good examples of this. Of course, a cover of the classic &#8222;Country Roads&#8220; also cuts a fine figure. But you can also enjoy groovy guitars in <strong>powerful songs</strong> such as &#8222;Dirty Angel&#8220; or &#8222;Make It Shake&#8220;. I love this flair with <strong>piano and strings</strong>, which give the whole thing even more <strong>special atmosphere</strong> that carrys me away.

<p><strong>Túsk </strong>(<a href="https://www.facebook.com/TuskIreland">Facebook</a> / <a href="https://tuskireland.bandcamp.com/album/t-sk">Bandcamp</a>) from Ireland celebrated the release of their self-titled debut album this year. I immediately liked their<strong> authentic, lively style</strong>, which grabbed me straight away. It&#8217;s a really cool album that you should listen to. The guitars are in constant action and whip up the sound with awesome, wild solos. Singer Jamie shines with a very strong, fervent vocal performance.

<p>from England come along with a full load of good humor, which is reflected in every note of the album &#8222;Bittersweet Satisfaction&#8220;.

From casually cool, to catchy modern, to rousingly ecstatic, there&#8217;s the complete pampering program here. <strong>This album makes the sun shine even on the darkest of days.</strong> (<a href="https://metal-heads.de/reviews/bad-touch-bittersweet-satisfaction-review/">Review</a>)</p>

<p><strong>RAVENSTINE</strong> (<a href="http://ravenstine.heavyrock/">Facebook</a>) were a mega surprise for me.<strong> </strong> As an international band (founded during the COVID 19 lockdown) they caused a stir in the scene with their self-titled debut. Since then, they have steadily increased their fan base. And it&#8217;s no wonder, because the musical quality is beyond reproach. <strong>The band consistently delivers banging rock songs, each with its own charm and some curious ideas </strong>(e.g. &#8222;Still Alive&#8220;).<strong> A rousing and biting album!</strong> So this band definitely deserves a place in the 2023 best list. (<a href="https://metal-heads.de/reviews/ravenstine-ravenstine-review/">Review</a> / <a href="https://metal-heads.de/behind-the-scenes/ravenstine-im-interview/">Interview</a>) And there&#8217;s some great news! Because the new album &#8222;2024&#8220; will be presented on January 12.</p>



<p>waren für mich eine Megaüberraschung. <strong>RAVENSTINE</strong> (<a href="http://ravenstine.heavyrock">Facebook</a>) als internationale Band (gegründet im COVID 19-Lockdown) sorgte mit ihrem selbstbetitelten Debüt für Aufsehen in der Szene. Seitdem konnten sie ihre Fanschar stetig vergrößern. Dies ist auch kein Wunder, denn die musikalische Qualität ist über jeden Zweifel erhaben. <strong>Es werden durchweg knallige Rocksongs geboten, die jeweils ihren eigenen Charme haben und unter anderem mit kuriosen Ideen daherkommen</strong> (z.B. &#8222;Still Alive&#8220;). Ein mitreißendes und bissiges Album! Somit hat diese Band ein Platz in der Bestenliste 2023 sehr wohl verdient.

<p>When it comes to technical perfection, <strong>JELUSICK</strong> (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/JelusickOfficial">Facebook</a>) is the right choice. <strong>Dino Jelusick is not only a brilliant singer, but also a great songwriter. </strong>There is no doubt about that. The <strong>debut &#8222;Follow The Blind Man&#8220; </strong>has now been released with high standards for himself and his fellow musicians. Only the three ballads fall behind <strong>the rousing songs</strong> for me and don&#8217;t seem as spectacular as the other rousing songs, which<strong> are really damn great and are clearly among the best rock songs released this year.</strong>  (<a href="https://metal-heads.de/reviews/jelusick-follow-the-blind-man-review/">Review</a>) </p>

<p><em><strong>The result is thrilling songs that really let it rip, but also have a progressive streak in some cases. Dino Jelusick is not the only top singer to deliver a great show.

<p>This band has created the <strong>Hardrock album of the year</strong> for me. <strong>&#8222;Wheels Of Fortune&#8220;</strong> simply enchanted me with its 80s charm. On the album, <strong>FRONT ROW WARRIORS</strong> (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/FRW.official">Facebook</a>)  not only give us songs with impeccable craftsmanship, but they also exude their very own charm, which singer Elkie Gee plays a big part in. She has a great voice and delivers a more than convincing performance here. <strong>The songs also explore the boundaries of melodic/heavy metal.</strong> I even like the power ballad &#8222;Love Is Not A Game&#8220; with its magnificent chorus. Listen to this crazy keyboard solo in combination with the great guitar solo on &#8222;Wheel Of Fortune&#8220;!!!! And this chorus is simply to kneel down!

<p>The Swedish band <strong>S.O.R.M.</strong> (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/sormsweden">Facebook</a>) has actually released the album of the year for me in Heavy Rock. <strong>&#8222;Under My Skin&#8220; is the name of the grab bag with all kinds of bangers</strong>, which also has some soulful moments. <strong>Micke Holm has a brilliant voice </strong>that inevitably reminds me of Blackie Lawless from W.A.S.P., only even more powerful. <strong>The trio rocks a damn strong sound. </strong>With &#8222;I Die For My Rock N Roll&#8220;, they also like to drift into the hard rock genre and come up with an ingenious party anthem or get emotional and create a soulful performance with &#8222;Under My Skin&#8220;. Apart from that, there are <strong>plenty of surprises</strong>, all of which are convincing. And it&#8217;s also <strong>pretty damn heavy.</strong> (<a href="https://metal-heads.de/reviews/s-o-r-m-under-my-skin-review/">Review</a>)</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p><strong><em>With &#8222;Under My Skin&#8220;, S.O.R.M are sending a pure Heavy Rock album into the race. It is a &#8222;Hellride&#8220; that also goes &#8222;Under The Skin&#8220;. This is best entertainment . S.O.R.M show different facets and have their very own characteristic sound that makes them stand out from the crowd. Micke Holm&#8217;s magnificent voice is unmistakable anyway.</em></strong></p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Heavy Texas Rock</h3>



<p><strong>TEXAS HIPPIE COALITION</strong> (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/texashippiecoalition">Facebook</a>/<a href="https://www.thcofficial.com/">Homepage</a>) haben am 21.04.&#8217;23 mit &#8222;The Name Lives On&#8220; ein musikalisches Schwergewicht ins Rollen gebracht. Nach dem Debüt &#8222;Pride Of Texas&#8220; im Jahr 2008 ist das neue Album<strong> &#8222;The Name Lives On&#8220; bereits das siebte Album.</strong>   Dabei geben sich die Südstaatenrocker ziemlich vielseitig. Davon könnte Ihr Euch gerne anhand der Diskografie überzeugen. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><a href="https://metal-heads.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/TEXAS-HIPPIE-COALITION-Titelbild.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://metal-heads.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/TEXAS-HIPPIE-COALITION-Titelbild.png" alt="" class="wp-image-145326" width="302" height="218" srcset="https://metal-heads.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/TEXAS-HIPPIE-COALITION-Titelbild.png 654w, https://metal-heads.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/TEXAS-HIPPIE-COALITION-Titelbild-300x217.png 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 302px) 100vw, 302px" /></a></figure></div>



<p>Die <strong>erste Single &#8222;Hell Hounds&#8220;</strong> war wieder so ein Song, wo ich nur die ersten Riffs hören musste und ich wusste, dass das geil wird. Der Sound nimmt Dich sofort in seine starken Arme und lässt Dich nicht mehr los. <strong>Bretthart und schwer groovt sich der Song voran. </strong>Big Dad Ritch am Mikro hat eine krasse Präsenz und lässt keinen Zweifel daran, dass er der richtige Mann für den Job ist. Diese kraftvolle Stimme ist so rau und massiv wie Felsformationen der texanischen Wüste. </p>

<div class="video-container"><iframe loading="lazy" title="Texas Hippie Coalition – Hell Hounds (Official Music Video)" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/r-86Kc43xyo?feature=oembed&#038;wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
</div></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Voll Bock auf Rock</h3>



<p>Es ist der perfekte Soundtrack für einen lässigen Rocktrip. Die schweren groovigen Tracks schlage Euch den trockenen Wüstenstaub aus den Hosenfalten. Aber die Männer können auch anders. <strong>Sie rocken genauso lockere Tracks wie beispielsweise den schmissigen &#8222;Built For The Road&#8220; mit starker Hardrockattitüde. </strong>Die Riffkolben fetzen und befeuern die Powervoice von Big Dad. Das bringt jede Party sofort in Schwung. </p>



<p>&#8222;Hard Habit&#8220; ist ein schöner Stampfer und wärmt mit strahlenden Melodien, die so heiß brennen wie die Mittagssone in Texas. Und dann tritt noch das fetzige &#8222;Scream&#8220; mit forschen Schritten und fettem Bass die Schwingtür zum Saloon ein und bringt den Laden richtig in Schwung.  </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Die Überraschung des Albums </h3>



<p>ist für mich aber die <strong>Ballade &#8222;I Teach Angels How To Fly&#8220;</strong>.  Die gewohnt starke Päsenz des Sound ist unbestritten vorhanden, auch wenn sie sanftere Töne anschlägt. Mich hat diese Ballade jedenfalls voll abgeholt und ich konnte mich ihrem düsteren melancholischen Charme nicht entziehen. Ich hätte nicht erwartet, dass mich auf diesem Album ein Song  gefühlsmäßig dermaßen intensiv berühren könnte. Gerade der Chorus geht direkt ins Herz. </p>



<p>&#8222;I Teach Angels How To Fly&#8220; hätte auch gut der letzte Song des Albums sein können, aber mit dem<strong> coolen Westernrocker &#8222;The Name Lives On&#8220;</strong> reite ich noch in den wunderschönen rotgold schimmernden Präriesonneuntergang und sitze anschließend am flackernden Lagerfeuer und genieße diesen Moment. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Fazit</h3>



<p><strong>TEXAS HIPPIE COALITION sind auf den staubigen Pisten und in der heißen Wüste von Texas zu Hause. Auch auf dem neuen Album &#8222;The Name Lives On&#8220; liefern sie authentischen exzellenten Südstaatenrock. Damit bestätigen sie ihren eigenständigen Status als einer der besten Bands in diesem Genre. </strong></p>

<h3 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading">English review</h3>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Heavy Texas Rock</h3>



<p><strong>TEXAS HIPPIE COALITION</strong> (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/texashippiecoalition">Facebook</a>/<a href="https://www.thcofficial.com/">Homepage</a>) have launched a musical heavyweight with &#8222;The Name Lives On&#8220; on 21.04.&#8217;23. After the debut &#8222;Pride Of Texas&#8220; in 2008, the new album<strong> &#8222;The Name Lives On&#8220; is already the seventh album</strong>. These rockers are quite versatile. You can convince yourself of that with the discography.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><a href="https://metal-heads.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/TEXAS-HIPPIE-COALITION-Titelbild.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://metal-heads.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/TEXAS-HIPPIE-COALITION-Titelbild.png" alt="" class="wp-image-145326" width="302" height="218" srcset="https://metal-heads.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/TEXAS-HIPPIE-COALITION-Titelbild.png 654w, https://metal-heads.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/TEXAS-HIPPIE-COALITION-Titelbild-300x217.png 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 302px) 100vw, 302px" /></a></figure></div>



<p>The <strong>first single &#8222;Hell Hounds&#8220;</strong> was one of these songs where I only had to hear the first riffs and I knew it was going to be awesome. The sound takes you immediately in its strong arms and does not let you go. Hard and heavy as a old iron locomotive the song grooves forward.<strong> Big Dad Ritch on the mic has a hell of a presence and leaves no doubt that he is the one and only for the vocals.</strong> This powerful voice is as raw and massive as rock formations of the Texas desert.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="video-container"><iframe loading="lazy" title="Texas Hippie Coalition – Hell Hounds (Official Music Video)" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/r-86Kc43xyo?feature=oembed&#038;wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
</div></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Hot for Rock</h3>



<p>It&#8217;s the perfect soundtrack for a Rock trip. The heavy groovy tracks beat the dry desert dust out of your trousers. But the men can do other things as well. They rock just as loose tracks like for example the snappy <strong>&#8222;Built For The Road&#8220; with a strong Hardrock attitude. </strong>The riff pistons shred and fire the powervoice of Big Dad. This gets every party going right on the Rock highway.</p>



<p>&#8222;Hard Habit&#8220; is a fat stomper and warms up with radiant melodies that burn as hot as the midday sun in Texas. And then the groovy &#8222;Scream&#8220; kicks in the swinging door to the saloon with brash steps and fat bass and really gets the place going. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The surprise of the album</h3>



<p>is for me, however, the <strong>ballad &#8222;I Teach Angels How To Fly&#8220;</strong>. The usual strong presence of the sound is undoubtedly present, even if it strikes softer tones. In any case, this ballad fully picked me up and I could not escape its gloomy melancholic charm.<strong> I would not have expected that a song on this album could touch me so intensely emotionally. </strong>Especially the chorus goes straight to the heart.</p>



<p>&#8222;I Teach Angels How To Fly&#8220; could well have been the last song on the album, but with the cool western rocksong &#8222;The Name Lives On&#8220; I still ride into the beautiful red-gold shimmering prairie sunset and sit by the flickering campfire afterwards and enjoy this moment.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Conclusion</h3>



<p><strong>TEXAS HIPPIE COALITION are at home on the dusty tracks and in the hot desert of Texas. Also on the new album &#8222;The Name Lives On&#8220; they deliver authentic excellent Southern Rock. With this they confirm their stand-alone status as one of the best bands in this genre.</strong></p>
