Nearly impossible to find, the two latest albums from Norwegian AOR icons LAVA are being available again thanks to AOR Heaven Records. “Polarity” is Lava penultimate studio CD, their comeback album after many years out of the business.

Often named the ‘Scandinavian Toto’, Lava are known, as well as the Lukather & co combo – for including virtuoso session musicians, for writing awesome melodies, and for never released and album sounding the same than the previous.
Indeed, Lava has transited numerous styles ranging from AOR, Melodic Rock, fusion, West Coast, rock&pop, etc.

“Polarity” mixes smooth AOR melodies, classic rock and rock&pop with a touch of Lava’s classic West Coast waves.
There’s varied material such as the lite AOR of “Aquilo Blow” or my favorite “Fly Like An Arrow” (pure genius – like Stage Dolls on heat), and a great reworked version of the Thowsen cult classic “Black Rain” (with help from Chris Thompson on guest vocals).

You have some sophisticated funky tracks like the first single “Shine A Little Light (with the incredible Randy Crawford handling the lead vocals) and the dynamic “Get Somebody”.
For ballads check the smooth “So Many Nights” (a showcase for Egil Eldøen’s smooth vocals), or the elegant closer “Sometimes”.
