CHINAWHITE – Evolution? (2021)
Established during the second half of the ’80s, Dutch melodic hard rock band CHINAWHITE has released four albums and gained a strong fan base at their homeland, Germany and around. With two original members still on board – guitarist / keyboardist Peter Cox and bass player Sander Stapper who actually play ‘bass guitar’ as the instrument is present up in the mix and define the band’s sound – the band keeps rocking after all these years.
After the good reception of their 2018 ‘comeback’ album tiled ‘Different’, the rejuvenated band did not need 9 years this time… no, ChinaWhite have wasted little time and deliver another set of crunching rock tracks on their new opus “Evolution?“.
From the powerful riffs of the hard rocker opener ‘No Perfect World’, the emotional ‘Somehow’, to the instrumental prowess in tracks like the ‘Evolution (?)’ or ‘Found’, the band are in top form and manage to avoid an all too formulaic sounding album.
