Disconnected

1987年結成、紆余曲折を経てようやく2010年にリリースしたデビュー・フル・アルバム｢CONFESSIONS｣は日本盤もリリースされ好評を博したスウェーデンのメロディアス・ハード・バンドの約1年半ぶりの2nd。

北欧的な哀愁たっぷりのポップなメロディと分厚いコーラス、結成20周年の大ベテランとは思えない現代的なテイストも取り込む柔軟なセンスなど、前作で聴かせた要素に磨きをかけることでしっかりした個性を獲得した作品。前作を気にいった方であればもちろんHAREM SCAREMあたりのファンは要チェックの一枚。

Angeline looks back on a vivid band history of more than two decades. After the band’s foundation back in 1987, when most of the boys were still in their teens, they played their first gigs together. Inspired by the unexpected success of “Confessions” (2010), their first full length album of all original new material, the Swedish band Angeline now delivers the much anticipated follow-up “Disconnected”.

This album now picks up where “Confessions” left off and with only two albums under their belt the band has managed to create its very own sound. It’s a unique combination of Melodic Rock, a genre that was popular when Angeline first started out more than twenty years ago, with super catchy hooklines, multi layered harmonies in Harem Scarem fashion and a healthy dose of Modern Rock, which shows their wide range of influences from bands such as Daughtry, 3 Doors Down and the recent Bon Jovi albums and for good measure a bit of the Retro Hard Rock sound à la Airbourne and Bullet is added. The album features a crisp and powerful production by the band’s guitarist Jocke Nilsson and a state-of-the-art mastering by Björn Engelmann (Stage Dolls, Wig Wam, Within Temptation, Williams/Friestedt).
