Another single for Alan Parsons's upcoming album, and I think this one is a little better than the first one. Parsons is really channeling his mid-80's sound with these ballads. My only concern, now, is if the album is going to be nothing but ballads.
One thing you can say for Neal Morse is that he's prolific. Here we have the first single of his rock opera about the life of Jesus Christ, and it seems to be a quick blast 70s rock similar to Deep Purple and Kansas! I suppose there have been weirder ways to tell Bible stories.
Jon Anderson of Yes also has a solo album coming out, and if this single is anything to go by, it might not be heavy on the rock, it is very Jon Anderson! The video is cute in a dorky way, but it's his voice that carries the song, which is to be expected. Fun stuff!
Grand Magus has been pounding out their brand of heavy/doom metal for a while, and here we have them blasting out something epic. I've always been a fan of epic doom metal, and this sounds great! Nice and crunchy!
More epicness! Here we have Battle Beast giving us a song about the Mongols! Noora really gives her all with this power metal track, but then again, I suppose at this point that's to be expected!
And to finish things off, let's go with some Crazy Lixx! This band really proves that glam metal can still sound great, with some catchy riffs and a sing-along chorus. It's like the 80s never ended! (And I mean that in a good way!)
