ALICATE – Butterfly (2022)

ALICATE was formed in the late Eighties by Lead vocalist Jonas Erixon and bass player Fredrik Ekberg. In the early years they played mostly local venues but were able to release a 7” single called ‘The End/Too Shy To Take It’ which is a collector’s piece today. Fast forward to 2006 where the band reformed and started to work on new material that resulted in their first full length album called “World Of Anger” that was released in 2009, with other album and EP following.
The creativity was reaching soaring levels when Covid sadly hit the world and put the progress on hold for the band. However, Erixon still wrote new songs and collaborated with some high-profile artists and wrote / co-wrote songs for Giant, Skills (with Billy Sheehan and Brad Gillis) and Sweet Oblivion (Geoff Tate).
Now the time has come for ALICATE’s 4th album, ”Butterfly”, which feels like a natural progression from their last LP that would result in a more distilled version of the band, adding even more hooks to the songs.
This classic Scandi hard rock mixed with melodic hard wrapped by an updated production design still with that classy ’80s atmospheres.
