PlanetMosh Keeping it Metal
As Ted Nugent once said, “You can’t keep a good dog off your leg”, point proven by the return of 1980’s metallers No Favors, and the Stoke-On-Trent based five piece band have recently released a ten track studio album called The Eleventh Hour, via Pride & Joy Music.
The album kicks off with ‘The Monkeys Are In Charge Of The Zoo’. It’s like being lifted inside the eye of a storm, thrown around by choruses that reflect the current state of our planet with a rasping lead vocal and full on headbanging outro.
‘Stop Where You Are’, first single taken from the album has tribal drum patterns, shaking the Earth as well as dishing out melodic rock par excellence.
A glorious intro for ‘Destiny’ has earworms to set the scene for another Grade A song that goes down the gears to make way for shimmering choruses.
‘Wild Days’ is a heart worn on sleeve ballad, crooning around personal vocals to make for a surefire stadium filling anthem.
‘Need For Speed’ lives up to its title, by being the heaviest song, tearing down the track and burning rubber for this titanic turbocharger to effortlessly lap the opposition.
‘No Looking Back’ is a sturdy pounder that marches along with a confident strut, taking no prisoners on the way.
‘Never Let You Go’ has rock radio written all over it as another dose of air guitaring is mandatory and swaggering choruses are to be roared back by the listener.
‘Only Memories Remain’ is a sultry slowburner of sheer beauty to make for my album highlight.
‘My World, Your World, Our World’ has seismic grooves that undulate around a stratospheric height reaching lead vocal to make for fiery opening as a sturdy drum battery pins everything down, especially your P.A system!
This highly impressive album closes on ‘Liitle White Lies’, second single taken from it. This lengthy tearjerker ebbs and flows, telling how a relationship can end within a blink of an eye as midway choruses pave the way for a guitar extravaganza outro!
