│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ If their first album (ôFrom Ashes to Fireö) was ║ │
│║ highly praised all over the world, their ║ │
│║ homeland, the mighty Sweden was more than ║ │
│║ receptive to their music, and now is time (for ║ │
│║ the big challenging task) for the second ║ │
│║ collection titled öFor The Greater Goodö, which ║ │
│║ consists of 11 songs in the same strain of ║ │
│║ quality, clocking at over sixty minutes! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ SAFFIRE was born in 2005 when guitarist Victor ║ │
│║ Olsson and Dino Zuzic united their talent under ║ │
│║ the same musical dream together as a school ║ │
│║ band/project. Their idea was to form a band ║ │
│║ based on old school melodic hard rock sound with ║ │
│║ some Dark atmospheric colors and the mandatory ║ │
│║ heavy metal edge, the Inner Wound Recordings ║ │
│║ debut album ôFrom Ashes to Fireö was a great ║ │
│║ surprise of 2013àAnd it was a revelation to me ║ │
│║ notably because of their lead singer, but also ║ │
│║ the inner-strength of their compositions skills. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Clearly I had some serious high expectations ║ │
│║ regarding this ôFor The Greater GoodöàFinally ║ │
│║ all my wishes were fulfilled and even outmatched ║ │
│║ by such an amount of magical instrumental ║ │
│║ prowess, sonic competency, devotion and of ║ │
│║ course, gifted performances! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The formidable Swedish vocalist, borrowed from ║ │
│║ EVIL MASQUERADE, Mr. Tobias Jansson (exTHE LAW) ║ │
│║ is performing some great vocal parts (ôCasters ║ │
│║ Of The First Stoneö), possessing all tricks with ║ │
│║ ease, some multilayered harmonies are ║ │
│║ mindblowing (ôShadowlandö), he also reveals a ║ │
│║ strong personality and a fierce interpretation ║ │
│║ capacity (ôThe Great Escapeö) with an impressive ║ │
│║ intensity in each word that he pronounces, ║ │
│║ giving some additional weight to his lines. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ His perfect vocal work is indeed faultless, and ║ │
│║ globally, the similarities with SAFFIRE 2013Æs ║ │
│║ album, ôFrom Ashes To Fireö, are numerous; this ║ │
│║ release is packed with the same density as ║ │
│║ described before and the same credibility with ║ │
│║ roots in the 70Æs without being one of those ║ │
│║ indigest gimmicks filled revival only outfit ║ │
│║ (ôThe Great Escapeö)! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I believe that the creativity is limitless here, ║ │
│║ the disc ôFor The Greater Goodö is totally free ║ │
│║ from some preconception and far from some too ║ │
│║ orthodox tentatives, but still right up in the ║ │
│║ alleys of most Classic headbangers: The ║ │
│║ intensive use of the Hammond organ gives a more ║ │
│║ conceptual and some palpable additional ║ │
│║ dimension (ôGhost Townö), the structures expose ║ │
│║ constantly itÆs coherent potential, full of ║ │
│║ sensations from obscure cryptic moments to ║ │
│║ dramatic variations or tragic moods àThe whole ║ │
│║ packaged in some arrangements and phrasing, a ║ │
│║ little similar to some contemporary English ║ │
│║ Proggy mannerism (ôFor The Greater Goodö or ║ │
│║ mostly "Heartless"), with the necessity of a ║ │
│║ constant focus on entertainment but with the ║ │
│║ high class Scandinavian smartness always at the ║ │
│║ first row! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ DonÆt be fooled by the name of their new records ║ │
│║ company, no radio-friendly generic soup here; ║ │
│║ ultimately this album is obviously more an ║ │
│║ uplifted Classic Hard Rock (with some multi- ║ │
│║ facets influences like the catchy ôAs Primises ║ │
│║ Burnö) than anything else! ║ │
│║ Along with MAJOR INSTINCT ôRoots & Wingsö CD, ║ │
│║ who also contains a forceful Melodic Potential ║ │
│║ (where Victor Olsson is involved as mixing ║ │
│║ engineer), both albums are set to be released by ║ │
│║ the excellent Georg Siegel AOR Heaven labelàThe ║ │
│║ perfect paliative before the Richie BlackmoreÆs ║ │
│║ RAINBOW hypothetic new record! ║ │
