H.A.R.E.M. – Enjoy The Show (2015)
*
H.A.R.E.M. (or Heavy And Rough Easy Men) was formed in the ’90s by Italian singer Freddy Delirio, also known for being the keyboard player in the famous horror-rock band Death SS. But with H.A.R.E.M. he finds space to compose and play his favorite genre; Glammy Hard Rock with an ’80s flavor.
H.A.R.E.M. has released three studio albums, one live, a DVD and has participated in various tribute albums, and now 2015 are presenting this “Enjoy The Show” featuring as guests the incredible Reb Beach and his Death SS bandmate Steve Sylvester on vocals.
H.A.R.E.M. formula is simple; short, catchy hard (melodic) rockers with a US ’80s glammy influence all over. Glam and not sleazy, to make things clear.
Then, we find some tracks akin Motley Crue in “Rolling Thoughts”, title track “Enjoy The Show” or “Fire on Stage”, yet others are much more melodic as “Made of Stars” or “The Wizard” where H.A.R.E.M. reminds you ’80s Alice Cooper.
Songs like the elaborated “Green Diamonds” have more in common with Enuff Z’Nuff, while “Look Back at Me” explore modern sounds with groovier guitar riffs.
But my favorite cut is the melodic rocker “Angel”, featuring a truly awesome guitar solo by Reb Beach (Whitesnake, Winger). Listen here;
As its title speaks, “Enjoy The Show” is a really enjoyable and entertaining album from H.A.R.E.M. You have fine songwriting, tight performances and a good production.
Most of the tracks are pretty catchy rockers but Freddy intersperse some varied songs to provide balance, as the interesting “Flower”. The only dislike here is the cover of Door’s “Break on Through”, unnecessary in my opinion.
Quite Recommended.
