Quiet Riot - Playlist: The Very Best Of Quiet Riot - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

After their previous InchThe Sky is the LimitInch, Norwegian band STARGAZER entered the radar of connoisseurs of the hard rocking world. The group was loudly hailed as one to watch. They received a lot of great reviews all over the western world and were, back then in late 2019, ready to take on the world for serious touring. But serious touring saw an abrupt end due to Covid-19 for almost every band in 2020-21, with Stargazer being no exception. The nordic five-piece didn't lose their spirit and, diligently, took the downtime to start penning their next album. Produced by guitar player William Ernstsen and vocalist Tore André Helgemo, InchLife Will Never Be The SameInch is the result of those dark times with a silver lining ahead. Engineered by William at Jedimasterstudios, Trondheim, and mixed and mastered in Medley Studios, Copenhagen, by Soren Andersen (Glenn Hughes, Electric Guitars, etc), InchLife Will Never Be The SameInch is exactly the kind of album that you'd expect from a matured Stargazer and then some. The five-piece powerhouse hammers on with Scandinavian vibes that consists of virtuosity and a vintage sound with a modern twist. Firing on all cylinders in combination with the sense of good melodies, great riffs, solos and songwriting handcraft. With one of rock's best voices and one of the best blues-based hard rock guitar players around today. All this on top of a rock steady hard groove with killer rock songs such as InchLive My DreamInch, or down to the most tender and heartfelt tunes, as for example the single InchLive TodayInch, with emotions worn on their sleeves. InchLife Will Never Be The SameInch is the sound of Norwegian classic hard rock flagship, and Stargazer sets sail again with it's this third in their discography. One to change their life - and yours - for good
