│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ After reading the info regarding this here ║ │
│║ release, I contemplated with myself whether the ║ │
│║ British DEMON and PERSIAN RISK werenÆt active ║ │
│║ enough that their members, assumingly due to ║ │
│║ constant boredom, chose to rally up and come up ║ │
│║ with a new project to kick themselves into gear. ║ │
│║ Their resolution ended up with the formation of ║ │
│║ LAWLESS, felt like breaking the chains there, ║ │
│║ gathering elements and attributes of 80s Hard NÆ ║ │
│║ Heavy, a little sparkle of hair, rendering the ║ │
│║ might and grandeur of their own bands along with ║ │
│║ virtues and vices of KISS, URIAH HEEP, early ║ │
│║ SAXON, early DIO, DOKKEN, WHITESNAKE, JORN, ║ │
│║ WINGER, SCORPIONS and TWISTED SISTER. ôRock ║ │
│║ Savageö, under the helm of Escape Music, isnÆt ║ │
│║ that NWOBHM that I expected; nevertheless, it ║ │
│║ kicked some ass with its engineering work. As at ║ │
│║ first I refrained myself from reading the entire ║ │
│║ info sheet while only seen that three of the ║ │
│║ bandÆs members have been a part of two of my ║ │
│║ favourite British Metal bands, nonetheless, if I ║ │
│║ was hungry for heaven, at least for now I am no ║ │
│║ longer famished. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Two of this albumÆs monumental powerhouses, and ║ │
│║ there are others as well trust me on that, are ║ │
│║ Paul Hume and Howie G., of course without any ║ │
│║ disrespect for the two other distinguished ║ │
│║ members who lavished me with their incredible ║ │
│║ performances and musical abilities. Paul Hume, ║ │
│║ been within the DEMON lineup since 2010 as one ║ │
│║ of the duo guitarists, in LAWLESS picked up the ║ │
│║ mic and started singing, and he left me with my ║ │
│║ jaw left open for the flies to pick in to check ║ │
│║ for lunch. Such a powerful clear voice, a ║ │
│║ measure between AOR, Hard Rock and traditional ║ │
│║ Metal. It seems quite odd to me where has he ║ │
│║ been with that vocal ability all this time, as ║ │
│║ if he should have given up the guitar and ║ │
│║ naturally sing, something like old Joe ElliotÆs ║ │
│║ story. Furthermore, I am unsure whether he was ║ │
│║ also in charge of the soloing within ôRock ║ │
│║ Savageö, but still I have to comment that this ║ │
│║ some serious playing as well. On the other hand, ║ │
│║ I am sure the wiz from PERSIAN RISK, Howie G., ║ │
│║ as I already listened to him in action, had a ║ │
│║ thing or two or three to do with the might Rock ║ │
│║ lead guitar crunches on the song list. I really ║ │
│║ enjoyed his musical direction, not too much ║ │
│║ shredding, a lot of heart and tremendous ║ │
│║ energies, check out a master at work. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Dropping into the album, within the range of ║ │
│║ influences I gathered after steeping on this one ║ │
│║ for several times, there is a variety within the ║ │
│║ awesome merger of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. ║ │
│║ However, the main focus of the band seemed to be ║ │
│║ directed into two paths, one for utmost harmony, ║ │
│║ whether vocals or guitaring, and the other, ║ │
│║ chunky, heavy and meaty rhythm guitar riffery. ║ │
│║ Actually the second is a rather consistent ║ │
│║ segment of nearly any band in Metal music, yet ║ │
│║ not every band is able to reach such a type of ║ │
│║ harmony. URIAH HEEP has been doing it for ages, ║ │
│║ and I sensed something of the same within ║ │
│║ LAWLESS, yet as I stated, a much heavier band ║ │
│║ when it comes to their rhythm guitar outcomes. ║ │
│║ Furthermore, LAWLESS kept their ball rolling ║ │
│║ with a few commercialized catchy materials like ║ │
│║ the pompous, ôHeavy Metal Heavenö and ôRock NÆ ║ │
│║ Roll Cityö, which skyrocketed with their flairs ║ │
│║ and 80s Metal and Rock decorations that sounded ║ │
│║ so good, yet also flunked when it comes to the ║ │
│║ WHITESNAKE driven ôBlack Widow Ladiesö and the ║ │
│║ horrid ôStep Inö, which seemed to wrong after ║ │
│║ its previous starlight. LAWLESS remained catchy ║ │
│║ with others as well, but with a little bit of ║ │
│║ articulation like ôSOSö, a total DIO domination ║ │
│║ that in general made a tribute to the famed star ║ │
│║ (R.I.P.). ôWhere Heroes Fallö, an amazing ballad ║ │
│║ that moved me so much fixating my attention with ║ │
│║ world class soloing and of course high rated ║ │
│║ singing and there is ôF.O.A.Dö, it blew my mind, ║ │
│║ sliding in similar way as ôParis Is Burningö of ║ │
│║ DOKKEN, yet developed into a different kind of ║ │
│║ mystic, the chorus is another jaw dropper, god ║ │
│║ bless you Hume, how about co-fronting DEMON? So ║ │
│║ there you have it folks, an answer by a foursome ║ │
│║ crew that wanted to kick start vivacities of old ║ │
│║ and notch them for todayÆs pleasure yet without ║ │
│║ forgetting where they came from and they legacy ║ │
│║ they present. Grab this one!! ║ │
