Time Signature
Till the end of time...
Genre: hard rock / melodic metal
The Spanish hard rockers Airless are back with a new release - namely, their fourth full-length effort, which is simply entitled "Changes".
The keyword here is melody, as every track evolves around catchy melodies. There is a huge inspiration from AOR, and every track is literally very radio-friendly. Still, we are not, although there are plenty of pop elements, not dealing with hard rock that appeals to the lowest common denominator.
There is a lot of quality here. Firstly, the musicianship i top notch, and especially the guitar solos are no less than impressive. Secondly, there are actually several straight up metal elements and even some hints of aggression and heavy grooves. So, metalheads who do not mind a bit of melody might enjoy this release.
Quality hard rock which combines AOR and melodic metal, Airless' "Changes" should definitely be welcome in any hard rock album collection.
