HUMAN ZOO – My Own God (2016)
Almost five years has gone by since the Balingen based six piece HUMAN ZOO has delivered their latest CD, a quite long gap in between two albums if you want to keep a band in the spotlight. Anyway, these Germans never failed to deliver first class Melodic Hard Rock records and this applies in spades too for their fourth CD “My Own God” to be released in May, 2016 (already available only at AOR Heaven Records exclusively).
With incredible production sound and mixed by Chris Lausmann of Voices Of Rock fame, Human Zoo returns in full form with “My Own God”.
They have already demonstrated throughout a 12-year career that are great musicians offering real hard rock with large doses of melody and with supreme class.
Few bands in the genre are able to offer forcefulness and elegance at the same time.
Besides the super-charged riffs and killer vocals, Human Zoo style is quite unique as they add saxophone lines to each and every composition, but this used in a thrilling way working many times as an ‘extra’ guitar providing a different timbre.
From straight forward hard rockers like the kicking opener ‘One Direction’ (akin Gotthard), the incredibly catchy melodic hard rocker ‘Cry Baby Cry’, to emotional ballads such as the superb “A Day To Remember”, Human Zoo show their A Grade credentials.
If you need your AOR dose just check the great ‘Wave Your Flag’, for a stadium-ready anthem then ‘Solitaire’ will satisfy you aplenty.
Soaring vocals, sharp riffs, an oiled rhythm section and awesome choruses (some are to die for) are the motto of “My Own God”, Human Zoo’s best album to date and one of the best of the year for sure in the Melodic Hard Rock genre.
Super, Highly Recommended.
