│║ ║ │
│║ Artist : H.E.A.T. ║ │
│║ Album : II ║ │
│║ Label : EAR Music ║ │
│║ Cat.No : 0214598EMU ║ │

│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ H.E.A.T æIIÆ, perfection is thy name. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Artists, bands, labels, managers, songwritersà.listen up, ║ │
│║ pay attention and understand - this is how itÆs done. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ H.E.A.T have thrown off the experimentations of Into The ║ │
│║ Great Unknown (which I still think was great in its own ║ │
│║ way), ditched long-time producer Tobias Lindell and gone ║ │
│║ all in-house for their remarkable 6th album. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The result is H.E.A.T æIIÆ, an album that doesnÆt just ║ │
│║ politely knock on your door, rather it sees the band roll ║ │
│║ up in a 49-ton bulldozer, run over your lawn, crash through ║ │
│║ the door and bulldoze right through your house and out the ║ │
│║ other side. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ This is a no holes barred, take no prisoners, earth ║ │
│║ shattering slice of classic melodic hard rock, where every ║ │
│║ single element is simply perfect. And every element helps ║ │
│║ make the other aspects of the album sound even better. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Crash drums like an absolute madman, his playing not only ║ │
│║ more powerful and bombastic than ever, but itÆs also more ║ │
│║ technical and truly ear shattering. ║ │
│║ Dave shreds harder and faster than ever before, making this ║ │
│║ the bandÆs heaviest album to date. Some of the guitar solos ║ │
│║ are mind-blowing. ║ │
│║ Jona brings an equal dose of keyboards, helping balance the ║ │
│║ aggression with melody and adding several extra layers of ║ │
│║ ear candy. ║ │
│║ Jimmy takes on his role with his usual dominant presence, ║ │
│║ grooving right alongside Crash as ScandinaviaÆs tightest ║ │
│║ rhythm section. ║ │
│║ And what can I say about Erik? We already know heÆs an ║ │
│║ alien from a galaxy far far away, where freakish lung ║ │
│║ capacity and megaphone vocals are commonplace, but here on ║ │
│║ earth he stands alone as the finest rock vocalist anywhere. ║ │
│║ And here he screams, wails, harmonizes and produces angelic ║ │
│║ tones that every other singer should strive for. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ItÆs simply a stunning performance by Erik and the whole ║ │
│║ band. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Additional credit must go to the guys for the production ║ │
│║ and mix. If anything, it is even better than ever, they ║ │
│║ clearly learned a lot from their time in the studio and ║ │
│║ this record reflects that. Absolutely flawless. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ 4 songs have been previewed in full, each one giving a ║ │
│║ solid indication of the rest of the album. ThereÆs 11 ║ │
│║ ass-kicking tracks, the only ballad being Nothing To Say û ║ │
│║ a ballad so good it also kicks your ass. 11 tracks and 11 ║ │
│║ different vibes. Its very cool. ItÆs edgy, itÆs menacing, ║ │
│║ itÆs anthemic and melodic and itÆs fresh. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Of my observations on the album, it is worth noting that ║ │
│║ the songs all that have influences from the past, but also ║ │
│║ strike a clear new path forward. ║ │
│║ The guys have used some different chorus styles and ║ │
│║ structures in places and while some of the choruses may not ║ │
│║ match the anthemic heights of Living On The Run or Point Of ║ │
│║ No Return, the songs actually deliver the knockout hooks in ║ │
│║ the verse or post-chorus bridge. It makes for a really ║ │
│║ interesting learning curve for the album, as the chorus is ║ │
│║ normally the most obvious point of familiarity when first ║ │
│║ getting to know any record. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Highlights are almost impossible to spotlight as not matter ║ │
│║ what song you play last is the one stuck in your head ║ │
│║ afterwards. ║ │
│║ I do have a particular love for the hard edged fast moving ║ │
│║ Dangerous Ground; the classic Heat sound of Come Clean; the ║ │
│║ menacing We Are Gods and its brilliant post-chorus hook; ║ │
│║ the punchy multi-hook Adrenaline (with a nod to EclipseÆs ║ │
│║ Runaway in the chorus) and Heaven Must Have Won An Angel, ║ │
│║ which has a strong Brother Firetribe vibe to it. But that ║ │
│║ said, I now feel mean for not mentioning other songs. ║ │
│║ TheyÆre all brilliant. ║ │
