These damn Swedish bands seem to have four-star melodic hard rock in their blood. Because frankly, it is rare to find today, in the other regions of this world, combos from this fringe of hard rock that produce, with such disconcerting ease, opuses so full of quality and in front of which one can only remain stunned by the host of nuggets that they contain.
This second Art Nation essay is in this vein, the hits follow one another. The Scandinavian trademark is still the same, all you have to do is fill the metal shaker with big, sharp riffs, unstoppable choruses, galvanizing arena rock choirs, without fear of coating it, in a filigree way, with outright addictive pop impulses, all this being covered in a good communicative mood.
Written like that, it seems to be childishly simple. But that's not the case because even if Art Nation has not invented a new musical genre and you will have the impression of listening to compositions by some elders, the fact remains that you will not be able to remain insensitive to these rock hymns.
Fans of melodic hard rock, take a look at this "Liberation" that pulls out the slap box from beginning to end. For a while now we have been thinking that the made in Scandinavia was starting to phagocyte our little musical world, the release of this second baby from Art Nation will not overshadow this feeling.
