LASTWORLD – Escape the Eclipse (2022)

LASTWORLD returns with their new studio release ”Escape The Eclipse”, their 4th album (third for Perris Records) in under 4 years from the dynamic duo of songwriter Jim Shepard (all instruments) and David Cagle (all vocals). The new album is plenty of the Melodic Rock / AOR you like from them plus a few surprises, once again mastered by former King Kobra JK Northrup.
Shepard is the orchestrator creating some damn fine arrangements, a complete musician who really knows his way around his all the instruments too, his fretwork is excellent, the use keyboards to add splashes of color. His bass guitar skills are rock solid, and if the drums are programmed, then he’s made them sound very real – if not, then he’s a damned fine drummer to boot!
Then anything Cagle puts his name to is always good – listen to his work with Taxi, Silent Tiger or JK Northrup if you need proof.
