│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ After a building opening piece æRoad to VegaÆ ║ │
│║ shot through with guitars and quite promising, ║ │
│║ it fades, and æComatoseÆ, a fiery melodic rocker ║ │
│║ bursts forth. At the same time as you were ║ │
│║ disappointed that the opening æpieceÆ came to ║ │
│║ nothing you are immediately intrigued by the ║ │
│║ contemporary Metal feel and traditional melodic ║ │
│║ structure of æComatoseÆ. ItÆs an opening salvo ║ │
│║ that somehow sounds strangely familiar, ║ │
│║ comfortably structured yet distinctive and ║ │
│║ fresh.s ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ æFeather in the WindÆ that follows it rides in ║ │
│║ on a swirling organ and a few crashing chords, ║ │
│║ threadbare and laid back with its simple guitar ║ │
│║ line and building vocal , it again sounds ║ │
│║ classically constructed, comfortable, yet ║ │
│║ ragged, classic yet still evolving. ThereÆs an ║ │
│║ uneasiness here that somehow manages to excite ║ │
│║ and comfort at the same time. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Alpha Tiger, of course, have gone through a lot ║ │
│║ in the last two years, releasing their previous ║ │
│║ album æIdentityÆ to great acclaim back in 2015 ║ │
│║ they almost immediately lost their lead singer ║ │
│║ and so this album sees not only a regrouping of ║ │
│║ sorts but also a resetting of direction to some ║ │
│║ degree. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ After an interesting opening æSingularityÆ rides ║ │
│║ a crushing beat before æAuroraÆ takes the mood ║ │
│║ down again with its gentle Hammond core and ║ │
│║ waves of gently cascading guitar before morphing ║ │
│║ into a quasi-Metal anthem with a wonderful ║ │
│║ breakdown. æTo Wear a CrownÆ that follows gets ║ │
│║ closest to æIdentityÆ û a crashing Metal heart- ║ │
│║ starter that immediately clicks. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ æWelcome to DevilÆs TownÆ carries a great groove ║ │
│║ and the Western infusion into the melodic Metal ║ │
│║ core works particularly well when those Spanish ║ │
│║ guitars kick in; while æMy Dear Old FriendÆ ║ │
│║ strips away everything to reveal bare 70Æs metal ║ │
│║ roots; and æIf the Sun Refused to ShineÆ backs ║ │
│║ it all up with another that feels more akin to ║ │
│║ the æIdentityÆ album. ItÆs a great late trio of ║ │
│║ songs that probably are the highlights of the ║ │
│║ album for me. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ All that is left is the closer, the ║ │
│║ appropriately titled æThe Last EncoreÆ, that ║ │
│║ begins with spoken word and transforms into a ║ │
│║ glorious twin-guitar Metallic anthem. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ This may well feel like a new era for Alpha ║ │
│║ Tiger and the fact that this fourth outing is ║ │
│║ self-titled suggests that might be the case. ║ │
│║ Still itÆs a new start that certainly wonÆt ║ │
│║ alienate existing fans and one which brings on- ║ │
│║ board a few new sounds and textures that whilst ║ │
│║ not exactly signifying a new direction certainly ║ │
│║ points to greater experimentation and diversity ║ │
│║ to come. YouÆll like this. ║ │
