│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ As unfortunate as it is to see guitarist Michael Denner not ║ │
│║ be included in the recently announced Mercyful Fate ║ │
│║ reunion, at least heÆs staying busy with the release of ║ │
│║ this full-length debut album. In Amber has inevitable ║ │
│║ shades of the darkness pioneered by his classic efforts, ║ │
│║ but it ultimately takes direct inspiration from ║ │
│║ shred-friendly 70s metal. Whether DennerÆs Inferno is ║ │
│║ trying to show groups like Ghost how itÆs done or just ║ │
│║ digging into their roots as players, itÆs done with a ║ │
│║ certain sense of homecoming. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Predictably enough, DennerÆs Inferno is as based around the ║ │
│║ guitar playing as their name would suggest. His signature ║ │
│║ tricks are placed front and center and reinforced by more ║ │
│║ open influence from such heroes as Ritchie Blackmore and ║ │
│║ Michael Schenker. The riffs and gallops are noticeably less ║ │
│║ aggressive than anything Mercyful Fate ever released, but ║ │
│║ the tone still provides a sinister overcast, and the leads ║ │
│║ are always elegant. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Along with an organic production job, the other musicians ║ │
│║ play important roles in shaping the In AmberÆs mood. ║ │
│║ Chandler MogelÆs vocals are somewhere between Ian Gillan ║ │
│║ and Joe Lynn Turner, putting in an AOR character that ║ │
│║ sounds pleasant without getting too limp-wristed. I do find ║ │
│║ myself wishing the rhythm section had more power behind it, ║ │
│║ especially when you consider drummer Bjarne T. HolmÆs ║ │
│║ involvement in other Denner projects, but their ║ │
│║ performances never feel too dumbed down. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The songwriting plays up a certain duality, coating the ║ │
│║ albumÆs light and dark tendencies in an overall melodic ║ │
│║ sheen. ôFountain of Grace,ö previously seen on the EP of ║ │
│║ the same name, shares the most kinship with his past in its ║ │
│║ doomy riffs, subtle organs, and the chorusesÆ reaching ║ │
│║ falsettos. On the flip side, a couple songs end up in ║ │
│║ borderline pop territory with ôTaxman (Mr. Thief)ö standing ║ │
│║ out the most. Other tracks such as the galloping ║ │
│║ ôMatriarch,ö the psych-tinged ôUp and Onö and ôPearls on a ║ │
│║ String,ö and the crunchy ôRun for Coverö put in their own ║ │
│║ flavors. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ While DennerÆs Inferno mightÆve benefitted from some extra ║ │
│║ oomph, In Amber is a pleasant journey through a well-worn ║ │
│║ style. The combination of 70s rock and classic metal can ║ │
│║ risk sounding watered down, but the production is vibrant, ║ │
│║ and itÆs great to hear the guitaristÆs unique quirks ║ │
│║ holding up so well. There are plenty of newer bands who can ║ │
│║ do this sort of thing better, but itÆs always nice to see a ║ │
│║ well-executed retro take with a familiar face involved. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Highlights: ║ │
│║ ôFountain of Graceö ║ │
│║ ôSometimesö ║ │
│║ ôTaxman (Mr. Thief)ö ║ │
│║ ôRun for Coverö ║ │
