![]() With THUNDER RISING releasing their second full length 2022 after almost a decade from their self-titled debut, it’s a proper occasion to revisit this very good traditional (melodic) hard rock record enlisting the lead vocals of talented Mark Boals. Eddie’s vocal style is influenced by all-eras TOTO, but NIGHT RANGER, SURVIVOR or STAN BUSH must be mentioned as inspiration… With all songs sung in English, from the very first bits the listener knows where the ‘journey’ is going Classic AOR in the style of the 80s, catchy, plenty of melody & hooklines, with clean vocals, crisp guitars and genre-typical keyboard flourishes.Įven if many songs are located in the mid-tempo range, the album has its rocking puch too. Now HUNTER’s singer and keyboarder Ed Carabantes is going solo under the name EDDIE VANTEZ and presents his solo debut “ Rough Diamond”, also out via Lions Pride Music. Danish label Lions Pride is always in the ‘hunt’ for such ‘hidden bands’, so it’s not a surprise that they signed the band HUNTER, whom debuted for the label with 2021’s ”Hungry Heart’ album which received extremely favorable reviews – including ours at 0dayrox. ![]() Melodic Rock / AOR from Chile sounds a bit exotic to many, but this is a much beloved genre in South America (Brazil, Argentina, etc).
