INVASION – Invasion II (2024) *HQ*

Norwegian melodic hard rock band INVASION impressed many with their debut self-titled album in 2023. The totally independent band formed not long before that in 2022 and are based in Oslo, the capital of Norway. Now they are preparing to unveil their sophomore release with ”Invasion II” on August 23, 2024.
Lead by terrific vocalist Jørgen Bergersen (Big City, Europe cover band Rock The Night) INVASION’s brand of classic hard rock and current Scandinavian melodic hard rock are a force to be reckoned. Take as reference Treat, Kee Marcello or Brother Firetribe, yet more edgy at places.
INVASION never forget melodies as it’s the rule on all songs here, and they are not afraid to ballads, well done, with essence.

What sets apart INVASION from their colleagues is the strong songwriting maintained all over the album – ”Invasion II” packs only 9 tracks, but all are great tunes, no filler – consistency over quantity. And believe us, these guys are awesome musicians too.
And last but not least, we have to mention the shining production job for ”Invasion II” – everything sounds clear, detailed, with the necessary gloss needed for melodic hard rock. All managed by themselves.

”Invasion II” is simply one of the best albums we heard this year, and not only from the melodic hard rock camp, but overall. It’s that good: Scandi stuff at its best.
