MIDAS – Midas (2022)

MIDAS from Detroit Rock City was formed from ashes of veteran Michigan, USA hard rock bands. They came together really trying to capture the magic of that sound from the late ’70s and early ’80s, and the transition from hard rock into heavy metal. The bands that seem to influence MIDAS the most, are bands that not only captured the sound of their era but also really moulded it into their own sound.
Equal parts of pure traditional metal and catchy hard rock with brave doses of Thin Lizzy influences and 80s Swedish melody and vibe may refer to many bands out there. But it’s the only way to describe Midas self-titled debut.
Despite the fact that the album has two faces or two sides as a Heavy Metal approaching in half songs and a Hard Rock approaching on the other half, still the final result is brilliant.
