D’OR – Veni Vidi Ignis (2022)
”Veni Vidi Ignis” is the new album from Swiss hard rockers D’OR – in French, ‘Of Gold’. This is the brainchild of Andy Dormann, an established musician of the Swiss Rock Scene (KISSIN’ BLACK, CHARING CROSS) proving that fun and filthy loud music is alive and kicking on the streets of Switzerland.
“Veni Vidi Ignis” takes the best things from the ’80s Sunset Strip-Style and mix ’em with a healthy dose of European melodic hard rock for a groovy, melodic rocking cocktail. Yeah, the title track has some KROKUS on it, ‘Scream’ is pure ALICE COOPER ‘Hey Stoopid’ era, ‘Jack-In-The-Box’ takes the GUNS N’ ROSES craziness, ‘Flashback’ gets the primal CRASHDIET attack, and so on…
There’s more influences all over the album not meaning that D’OR hasn’t identity, they just resume the last four decades of sleazy hard rock in to their music. And they are really good…
