│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Swedish power metal band, Rocka Rollas, are a ║ │
│║ fairly well established act, and their third ║ │
│║ album, ôThe Road To Destructionö, is one that ║ │
│║ should leave a mark, with good musicianship and ║ │
│║ a good sense of songwriting. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ From the intro, ôThe Gatheringö, you know this ║ │
│║ is going to be some heavy, yet melodic stuff, ║ │
│║ with some great guitar melodies and an awesome ║ │
│║ build up. Then with the first proper track, ║ │
│║ ôCurse Of Bloodö, we are served with some ║ │
│║ straight up Power Metal with lots of energy and ║ │
│║ fast technical riffage, meeting some great ║ │
│║ basslines. The chorus has some awesome vocal ║ │
│║ layering with some great guitar playing backing ║ │
│║ it. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The album has a lot of great moments, from the ║ │
│║ mid tempo marching sound of ôFirefallö, which ║ │
│║ has an awesome chanting chorus, to faster tracks ║ │
│║ like ôA Wave Of Firestormsö, which again has a ║ │
│║ great chorus, topped with some fantastic lead ║ │
│║ guitar as well. The album doesnÆt really let you ║ │
│║ get much of a breather, apart from small breaks ║ │
│║ and intros; itÆs all quite full on power metal ║ │
│║ stuff, which is by no means a bad thing, itÆs a ║ │
│║ full frontal assault throughout and that ║ │
│║ definitely suits this band just fine! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ My highlight from the album is probably ║ │
│║ ôDarkheartö, which for me encapsulates perfectly ║ │
│║ the sound of this band, with plenty of fast ║ │
│║ catchy riffs and a really powerful chorus! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The album finishes on a MAGNUM cover, ôKingdom ║ │
│║ Of Madnessö. Gone are the flutes and acoustic ║ │
│║ guitars here; the band injects their own energy ║ │
│║ and style into this, making the riffs a bit ║ │
│║ heavier and adding some mad drums! ItÆs also a ║ │
│║ lot shorter too. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The production is pretty spot on for power ║ │
│║ metal, with lots of layered guitars working well ║ │
│║ together and some great vocal sounds in the mix. ║ │
│║ The bass is actually audible, which is nice, and ║ │
│║ the drums have plenty of punch. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ôThe Road To Destructionö is a pretty good ║ │
│║ release from Rocka Rollas. The band has a great ║ │
│║ sense of melody that you can hear throughout ║ │
│║ each and every song, and the choruses are ║ │
│║ exactly what they need to be; impressive and ║ │
│║ powerful. They arenÆt breaking any boundaries, ║ │
│║ but they do what they do VERY well. This is an ║ │
│║ album worth checking out for sure. ║ │
