OUTLASTED – Waiting For Daybreak (2019)
*Please Read Comments*
“Waiting For Daybreak” is the just released second album by OUTLASTED, a band from Norway eager to bring back the classic AOR sound of ’80s. This sophomore album from the Scandinavian band is plenty of smooth melody and catchy arrangements all over the place. Now the songwriting is spread over most of the band which makes the record stylistically a bit more versatile – within the genre, of course.
Fans of ONE DESIRE, CREYE, STATE OF SALAZAR or CARE OF NIGHT can’t do wrong here.
Opener ‘All Because of You’ sounds surprisingly American to my ears, or better Canadian, but follower ‘Time Mends a Broken Heart’ is typical Scandi melodic rock, with its AOR synths, and classy refrains / chorus.
‘The radio ready ‘She’s the One’ has some STAGE DOLLS on it, more guitar based, and the ballad arrives with ‘Lighthouse’, in the vein of the last WORK OF ART album.
‘Owner of My Heart’ is another cut with a Scandinavian feeling and atmosphere, the AOR of ‘Chains of Destiny’ is a slightly modern and I like its pulse, while more reminiscent Norwegian sounds (DALTON) are all over the strong mid-tempo ‘Come Hell or High Water’.
These guys in OUTLASTED grew up listening to classic AOR / Melodic Rock albums, and “Waiting For Daybreak” is a proof of that. You can tell this is a Scandinavian band since the first note, however there’s influences from US, Canada and UK famous acts from the genre as well.

…And why should they? You the PC police?
Mr. Andrew McNeice is the SUPERMAN from AUSTRALIA!!! 🙂 He was always so stupid and pathetic at the same time… 🙂 Laughter!!! Laughter!!! Laughter!!!
That’s a pity. I use this website to download and listen to the full albums before buying them. If I can’t listen to them, I won’t buy them. So the probably lost one sale this way…
A sad case of a poor man who doesn’t understand the business. We already traded homemade cassettes back in 1981, and that ruined labels? It’s 2019 man, grow up
I am from Mexico, for me it is practically impossible to get these CDs in physical format. First I listen to the digital format, the economy does not give to buy CDs that end up not liking me, a pre-listener gives me the verdict if a CD is worth buying, (To make the effort and buy it) I am sorry, I am that demanding.
What is the difference between ripping a Youtube concert/collection of demos/b-sides and placing it in an exclusive download paid area of a particular site, and what does 0dayrox? Yes, the sound quality of 0dayrox archives is always top notch.
This dickbrain hasn’t a clue, and he can’t even be polite. Available elsewhere so he can go suck on it!
Actually think Andrew McNeice is being restrained as it’s his record label and artists music that you’re getting for free. Picture this – someone walks into your house and takes one of your CDs – they have that music for free even though you paid for it – you’d be pissed off, well so is he as this is available to the whole world. I can understand wanting stuff deleted but here the whole world can have music just about to be or has just been released and that’s not helping the music scene we all love so much. You can justify it any way you want it’s only going to end in another label packing up and less great music to listen to…and to say you want to hear the full album before buying is nonsense – if there is one thing the internet is good at is listen before you buy. There is plenty on Andrew McNeices website (melodicrock.com) and YouTube. Just think about starting your own label and then think about this type of site. You wouldnt bother would you so give the guy a break. No doubt this message will get a load of abuse but that’s fine, it’s what I expect.
