VITAL PATH (feat Steve Newman) – Out Of Toys (2022) *HQ*
Taking a look at the album cover art and the band’s name, many would think this is a Prog music LP… well, no, “Out Of Toys“, the debut album from VITAL PATH is a classic Melodic Hard Rock / AOR collection of songs plenty of smooth melodies.
VITAL PATH is the new band from brothers Panos & Petros Papapetrou, whom previously already delivered melodic rock music with bands like Noely Rayn and VHS. Greece is known for housing many musicians in love with classic AOR, and “Out Of Toys” is just another proof of that.
While VITAL PATH secured the guest lead vocals of British AOR institution Steve Newman – it’s always a pleasure to hear him and serves as promotion for the album – truth is they don’t need Newman to showcase their quality.
Indeed, every track here is performed by a different Greek vocalist, and all do a very good job at the mic, including a female singer in one song (Angeliki Rossolatu / ‘The Voice of Greece’)…
