The inception
of this fascinating musical project came from the great
esteem that both Andre Andersen – keyboard maestro and
mainman of ROYAL HUNT – and Paul Laine – formerly singer of
DANGER DANGER – had one for each other. Andre therefore
started to write “straight rock tunes”. In a way, according
to the ivory-tinkler “it was a challenge to push these songs
in a 3,5 - 4 minutes frames, ditching those longer
instrumental passages, elaborate intros and such. But it was
fun nevertheless” adding then, “The whole sound landscape is
pretty much "in your face", every player did a great job so
the main point of this album - no thrills, pure rock - came
across as planned”.
After the
first recording sessions Andre felt the desire to expand the
project to another powerful and strong vocalist he had the
chance to admire for some time, that is to say PINK CREAM 69
shouter David Readman. He liked a lot the demos that Andre
prepared for the project and in a few weeks the record was
completed. “Both singers are great” says Andre, “and even if
I crafted the songs particularly for their vocal styles,
they made my job a lot easier”. The lineup on the record is
completed by Kenny Lubcke on background vocals, Bjarke Hopen
on lead guitar and Kaj Laege on drums. Ten brilliant tracks
of straight ahead Hard Rock that will encompass a large
number of fans – from the ROYAL HUNT and PINK CREAM 69 to
the DANGER DANGER harder-edged fanbase. |
