Sophomore album of Swedish outfit SUNSTRIKE easily connects with the 2014 debut “Rock Your World”. Melodies as far as the ears can tell, bombastic keys, huge choirs and a “fun-guarantee”, the Scandinavians know how to do it. Joachim Nordlund (g, ASTRAL DOORS) and Johann Lindstedt (dr) offer a large amount of pure AOR. Frontman Christian Eriksson (TWILIGHT FORCE, THEANDER EXPRESSION) again delivers quality vocals.
A great production and a varied, fresh guitar sound complete the picture. Anthems like “Head Over Heels”, “Rock This House” or “Someone To Love” stick out of a great album. Towards the end, “Sail Away”, a timeless ballad with slightly modern sounding keys, provides a lot of emotion. Finest AOR from Sweden!
