WASTELAND VALLEY – The Pandemic (2022)
“The Pandemic” is the new album from Norwegian hard rockers WASTELAND VALLEY, and as you imagine, it’s related to the situation the world is living with Covid-19. Not exactly a concept album, all songs into the album relate in one way or another experiences all over the last two years.
The interesting thing is WASTELAND VALLEY diverse musical approach; they are almost everywhere in the spectrum between Hard Rock and Metal of all eras, whether NWOBHM, traditional Hard Rock, Seventies progressive, and more. Being diverse isn’t enough, as there is a level of musicianship and songwriting to show for.
There’s classic harmonic twin guitars efforts but also reflective acoustic moments, rapid rockers but midtempo melodic moments as well…
