Stockholm based SKoR’s new album is out for streaming, and a very limited hand numbered CD, and what a pleasure it is to listen to.
I’ve known singer Emil Gammeltoft for over 30 years, sharing a love of Nazareth. A fine singer he is too, as this hard rock/metal album shows.
Opening track ‘Blood’ is a great start, there’s a hint of AC/DC, and a touch of Stones/Aerosmith sleaze, but it’s all a little dirtier, which quickly finds a very find groove. The title track is a little more uptempo, an even blend of 80s metal and 90s indie metal, strong guitar and bass,
When the vocals make use of the upper register, which reminds me a little of Hammers Rule.
I’m Yours runs to over 6 minutes, a solid riff, enjoyable beginning to end. Goodbye To Lockdown has a nice crunchy riff.
A break from the groove is ‘Sing Like Dan McCafferty’ (Emil doesn’t, but he is good), this is a bright and breezy uptempo country track. A fresh breath, before back to the full on metal end of The Stones with ‘Gimme High’. ‘Carousel’ is a real thumper, foot tapper, a rabble rouser. Then there’s a hint of G’n’R to ‘Keep On’.
Overall the album has a fine groove. A solid listen beginning to end, and like the rest of the band’s catalogue, well worth checking out. ****
