FRONTBACK – Heart Of A Lion (2017)
Swedish rockers FRONTBACK are releasing today their new album entitled “Heart Of A Lion“, the follow up from the band’s catchy debut featured here on the blog when appeared.
The new record continues with the band’s appealing brand of melodic upbeat melodic hard rock which at places borders on retro ’80s pop rock with a simply killer guitarist in Axel Graneskog.
Female Anlo Front, the band’s lead singer, put muscle in every track here and along with the crunchy and heavier guitars make this album a must check for every serious female-fronted hard rock fan out there.
The first three songs, the poppy (yet powerful) “All The Way For Fame”, the melodic rocker “Dead Man On The Road” and the hard rocking “Honest” are some cool samples of Frontback’s music versatility: kickin’, catchy and with the necessary melody enough to make you stand up and turn the volume on.
Other cuts such as “On And On” add more groove to the proceedings while in “Destiny” we are dealing with a killer and more commercial melodic hard rock tune.
Frontback’s second album “Heart Of A Lion” is a fine piece of pure and old-school melodic / hard that is really enjoyable from start to finish. There’s 10 strong songs, solid musicianship, and while production could be better, the band delivers a truly feel-good vibe all over.
So, if you love upbeat and in-your-face female fronted heavy rock stuff, then “Heart Of A Lion” is a release that you have to check out.
