Debut full-length album by Swedish Melodic Hard Rock/AOR band. Swedish Melodic Rockers Osukaru, formed around former Eye member Oz Osukaru, have now returned with their third release (after mini-album and EP). The first one was a bit lacking in the vocal department, while this was solved on the second release. Now they are back with new singer Chris Tiann. At a first glance he sounds really good. The voice is there, no doubt. The production is fat and nice. The song material feels quite strong and good. The new songs definitely are the best material ever from the band. Osukaru had got the funding to mix and master everything professional the quality would have been on another level and “Salvation” has reached a high rating.
Solid melodies and an album that will attract fans of H.E.A.T, Dynazty, Danger Avenue and more!
