BLUE MOUNTAIN SWE – One (2021)

BLUE MOUNTAIN SWE is the new fantastic melodic rock / AOR collaboration between vocalist Hans Birger Andersson (Fatal Smile, Token, et all) and members of the band Angeline.
All songs on their debut ”One” were composed by Anderson and Angeline’s Joachim Nilsson, obviously having the feeling from their own bands, but the aim was to obtain the sound from the classic Scandinavian era from the genre too.
And they did it, delivering a bright, fresh collection of melodic tunes. Andersson is a terrific vocalist, and here performs with passion the musical style he loves. There’s a sense of joyfulness all over the recording, and it’s palpable the guys really enjoyed working on this project.
This is classy Scandi stuff highly recommended for fans of the genre. Opener ‘A Little Bit’ is a catchy, groovy melodic rocker with a bouncy rhythm, soaring vocals and strong guitar work.

‘Voice Of Reason (One For All)’ go for a more midtempo pace and AORish touches, then ‘She’ brings to mind the kind of tunes Angeline produce, very melodic and with groove. Here’s a great guest solo to boot from Sven Larsson (Street Talk, Coastland Lane, Lionville).

Next we have perhaps the album’s best song. It’s called “We Will Never Know”, with a perfect vocal performance and a catchy chorus. After this comes the more rocking song on offer, “I’m On My Way”, guitar driven aand punchier than the rest.
“The Lonesome Road” rocks again with a melodic rock flavor and that late ’80s Scandinavian type of melody and sound production. Love it.

We hope this isn’t a one-album / EP project only. There’s a rare chemistry between these seasoned musicians and we’re eager to hear more.
Classy stuff, Highly Recommended
