MOUNTAIN OF POWER – Volume Four (2020) *HQ*
The man behind project MOUNTAIN OF POWER is Swedish musician and successful songwriter / guitarist Janne Stark (Grand Design). He covers mainly bands from the hard rock / classic rock golden era of the ’70s with MOUNTAIN OF POWER, but always pay great attention to guitar-heavy songs when choosing.
“Volume 4” features top class vocalists in the form of ROB LAMOTHE (RIVERDOGS), CARL DIXON (CONEY HATCH), MAGNUS EKWALL (THE QUILL), MATS LEVEN (YNGWIE MALMSTEEN / CANDLEMASS), MATTIAS OSBACK (LOCOMOTIVE BREATH),DAVID FEFOLT (FIFTH ANGEL), and many more, but also guest axerippers such as PONTUS NORGREN (TALISMAN, THE POODLES), MAGNUS HENRIKSSON (ECLIPSE), SOREN ANDERSEN (GLENN HUGHES, MIKE TRAMP), ROGER ROMEO (LEGS DIAMOND), just to name a few.
The enthusiasm of all musicians here is palpable in absolutely every single note and it really does not matter at all whether it is more well-known song material of from THIN LIZZY, THE SWEET, WISHBONE ASH, THE BABYS and RIOT or lesser known acts such as BUX, DIRK STEFFENS or SIR LORD BALTIMORE.
If you don’t automatically reach for the air guitar with this disc and shake your head in front of your turned-up sound system, you simply don’t like pure, well done rock n’ roll.
