This Swedish mob’s name is taken from the film noire
movie, ‘Murder My Sweet’, a dark, deathly, shadowy, sinister
world of femme fatales, guys down on their luck, ruthless
killers, and innocents caught in the crossfire, the perfect
image for a gothic metal band. The dame in this particular
click joint is the real looker Angelica Rylin, as cute as
lace pants, gee, this canary can really sing, a scorcher
hotter than Chicago fire. The Boss is Daniel Flores, a high
pillow drummer, composer and producer, with his trusty lieutenants,
Johan Niemann the harmonic lawman on bass (of the mighty
Therion gang), hotshot keyman Andreas Lindahl on the old
joanna, and ace hit-man Daniel Palmqvist on guitar, man,
these torpedoes really pack some heat. Let's get it on the
record straight from the beginning, what you get is 12 slugs
of ultra catchy, gorgeously melodic, up-tempo symphonic
gothic rock/metal, with choruses to die for, halfway between
Within Temptation and Delain. No filler, all killer, no
griller, all thriller, right up to the closing epic, ‘Death
of a Movie Star’. Available from all the usual joints for
a sawbuck, so, play it again Sam, if you don’t get this
record, then you’ll regret it, maybe not today, maybe not
tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life. Here’s
lookin at you kid.
9.5 out of 10, Phil.
