│║ ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ In 2009 ôRide The Skyö was a fine return to the ║ │
│║ top for AT VANCE with an updated and more ║ │
│║ mature, or more Classic Hard Rock, sound, they ║ │
│║ released their best album since "Only Human"à ║ │
│║ Back then Rick Altzi (also very busy with ║ │
│║ SANDALINAS / FREQUENCY and THUNDERSTONE) was the ║ │
│║ trigger for the new start. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The Swede is such a great singer with amazing ║ │
│║ abilities combined with a spectacular range and ║ │
│║ a truly moving sensibility, but despite his ║ │
│║ Lande / Coverdale similarities, the attentive ║ │
│║ followers of the band surely will noticed that ║ │
│║ this time again, Altzi sounds almost like the ║ │
│║ original singer: Oliver Hartmann (CENTERS / ║ │
│║ AVANTASIA / HARTMANN / IRON MASK / EMPTY TREMORS ║ │
│║ / GENIUS) but also like NARNIA / DIVINEFIREÆs ║ │
│║ German Pascual this is quite obvious in the ║ │
│║ low-registerà This is a good point in my mind! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ This album is a little more Power Metal oriented ║ │
│║ than ôRide The Skyö was, and if the five first ║ │
│║ tracks + ôFame And Fortuneö are killers (with ║ │
│║ blasting drums played by KAMELOTÆs Casey Grillo) ║ │
│║ some others songs like ôDonÆt Dreamö or ôSee Me ║ │
│║ Cryingö are still strikingà Simply more in the ║ │
│║ RAINBOW / WHITESNAKE styleà The title track as ║ │
│║ an example, is the perfect 2012Æs AT VANCE flag ║ │
│║ song with big chorus and a simple unless ║ │
│║ stunning reduplicate riff. The keys are present ║ │
│║ in the overall and refined sound without ║ │
│║ weakened the rhythm guitar tone and gave to the ║ │
│║ album a full & rich yet sophisticated ║ │
│║ production. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ôSaviorö is more like the earliest albums and ║ │
│║ quite similar to STRATOVARIUS's ôEpisodeö era! ║ │
│║ ôTokyoö is a very interesting cover track ║ │
│║ originally recorded by CRAAFTÆs mastermind Klaus ║ │
│║ LuleyÆs early AOR band TOKYO. Strangely Luley is ║ │
│║ back to the frontline as his new solo album ║ │
│║ ôTodayÆs Tomorrowö was released some weeks ago ║ │
│║ and as no-less than 4 TOKYOÆs CDs were re- ║ │
│║ released last year! ôMarch Of The Dwarfö is a ║ │
│║ short Neo-Classical instrumental in the true ║ │
│║ tradition of the genre and as always a good ║ │
│║ display for the quite impressive melodic lead- ║ │
│║ guitar work provided by Olaf Lenk (aka Olaf ║ │
│║ Jung). Not a weak track so far, for me the last ║ │
│║ one with the acoustic pace is a pleasant ending ║ │
│║ for this downright recommended platter. ║ │
