(review) Bruce Dickinson-‘The Mandrake Project’

Je li uopće potrebno predstavljati Bruce Dickinsona? Legenda metala, pjevač Iron Maidena izdao je nakon dugo vremena svoj novi solo album koji se sastoji od 10 pjesama. Ono što mogu reči je da je album odlična lekcija u melodičnom metalu i glas koji će mi zauvijek ostati jedan od najboljih i najdražih vokala u heavy metalu. Album otvara himnična Afterglow Of Ragnarok sa himničnim refrenom i odličnim singalong dijelovima. Rain On The Graves je malo sporija i stvar pumpajućeg basa i povećane dramatike uzrokovane Bruceovim jedinstvenim vokalom, ali mi je pjesma malo previše hard rockerska u odnosu na neke ostale na albumu. Resurrection Men fura neki plemenski štih na početku pjesme što se može čuti u ritmu bubnjeva, no pretvara se u dobru metal himnu. Tekstualno se album kreće u konceptualnom smislu u jednoj priči koja je jako zanimljiva i bilo bi dobro da pratite tekstove kada slušate album. Još dvije pjesme koje valja spomenuti kao highlighte albuma su Eternity Has Failed i Sonata(Immortal Beloved) koja je najduža na albumu i na odličan način zatvara album. Dobar album starog majstora.

”Musically, the song is inspired by all these great bands from 70’s and 80’s. We’re all big fans of bands like AerosmithKISS, and Guns N’ Roses, and we wanted to embrace those influences in this song.” –Roni, guitarist / Jo Below

”The lyrics are about the power struggle in a relationship. The song tells a story of bitterness, jealousy, and the desire to own somebody.” –Johanna, singer / Jo Below

Jo Below’s upcoming EP, ’New Worlds’, consists of five killer songs that showcase the group’s vast array of influences, from Fleetwood Mac-inspired acoustic pop to modern American-style hard rock. The EP will be released on March 15th, 2024 via Inverse Records.

KNIGHTS OF HELIOPOLIS:
“This new EP is released first as five separate singles. Those single are a bit special compared to what the band usually does. The character of our story, the knights of Heliopolis, in addition to being alchemists and in accordance to this same craft, are what we called « planeswalkers ». That means they can travel between worlds and dimensions. The stories happening in this EP are not happening in the chronology of the main narrative arc of the story contained in the EP ‘The Last Guardian’ and the album ‘Ferrum Fero Ferro Feror’. You can see them as side stories that could happen anywhere in the timeline of the Helioverse.
