Ettt
Rop på Hjälp (A cry for Help) are a new Swedish band from Göteborg in the vein
of November, Dead Man (I know they don't sing in Swedish) , Svarte Pan and
other 70s inspired heavy rock bands from Sweden and all the songs are sung in
Swedish, This is always a bit bold as
this automatically limits your audience quite a lot so the music better be
amazing, otherwise you are fucked.. The band's record features 9 tracks of slow
to mid paced songs, with dual guitars and a strong vocalist. The band play less
hard music though, the riffs are heavy but not that hard and it is mostly a
record melodic guitar riffing as there are very few guitar solos. The band have
created a quite solid melodic record with many very nice elements. Den
Europeiska Löken is a more uptempo track, while Sagor is a beautiful slow track
but also one of the heaviest at times. The title track really shows a different
side of the band though with a nearly silent and cool spacey section before
they rock out again and then get very melodic and spaced again. The last track,
Josef K is the only track on the record with any real guitar solos in this slow
doomy track. I think the 2nd Dead Man record on Crusher is the best comparison
for this band but they do not sound just like Dead Man. Check them out.
This is a site where I post reviews of CDs, DVDs, LPs, and concerts. I have been writing music reviews on and off since 1984. I ran a heavy metal fanzine from 1984-1988 called Metal Madness and have been a staff writer for Aural Innovations for many years. I have also contributed to Chrohinga Well (RIP), Bad Acid (RIP), Lowcut (RIP), Roadburn and a number of other zines as well. I recently moved to Portugal so please request the new address and do not send any music to Denmark anymore. Tak..
