OSUKARU – Starbound (2021)

The brainchild of Swedish guitarist, keyboardist and songwriter Oz Hawe Petersson (formerly known as Oz Osukaru) OSUKARU are releasing “Starbound” tomorrow, their sixth album, via AOR Heaven Records.
With roots in classic Stadium Rock, the band’s first few releases had a more AOR flavour to them, however since their properly titled effort ‘Transition’ you can hear hints of a heavier spark deep within the tracks.
Osukaru started to gain a unique, harder yet melodic sound and with their last album ‘House of Mirrors’ they landed a rock & roll homerun on which they have built upon to create this brand new comet ride titled “Starbound”.
Combining the heart and soul of classic giants such as Dokken, Winger, Def Leppard, and Whitesnake with the modern counterparts like Eclipse, Human Zoo and Brother Firetribe, “Starbound” serves a palatable slice of traditional melodic hard rock with a modern sound.
The album features a cool guest appearance from AORsters Boulevard sax player Mark Holden.
