HUNTER – Hungry Heart (2021)

Making its international presentation with their new album titled “Hungry Heart“, HUNTER is a band that hails from Chile and its musical style is classic melodic rock / edgy AOR. After the digital release of the band’s 10 track debut (which contained five songs in Spanish), the band gained the attention of fans, press and, of course, labels.
Danish label Lions Pride is always in the ‘hunt’ for such exotic releases, so it’s not a surprise that they signed the 5-piece after listening their quality material.
“Hungry Heart” contains twelve tracks inspired by the classic sound of the genre, all with English lyrics. Well played and properly recorded, the album should attract fans of both European & American melodic rock / AOR styles like Danger Danger, Survivor, Passion, Roulette, early Bonfire…

Among the highlights there’s the keyboard driven ‘Far Away’ which soaring melodies brings to mind ’80s Survivor / Peterik, the excellent melodic ‘Love Hunter’ (a favorite), the AOR power ballad ‘Sad Eyes’, the more modern ‘Rise Up’ with some hints of Pretty Maids, the ‘action-movie’ style of ‘Tonight’, and the midtempo AOR of ‘Somebody Said (Love Is A Lonely Word)’.

“Hungry Heart” is classic stuff from the genre with ’80s inspiration and updated sound, very vell produced & mixed. There’s some accent to Ed Carabantes vocals, but the man soars and put a lot of passion on it.
