Starmen - Starmenized - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

With their sights set on the stars, the Swedish hardrock-band Starmen returns with their fourth album - 'Starmenized'. After unexpectedly debuting with two records in 2020 and following up with another album in 2021, the guys are now back with a truly exciting sequel. Among the album's cavalcade of hits, the melodic hardrock takes the front seat, with self-written songs that are hard to resist, graphically packaged in a retro comic book style with a running theme that oozes superheroes and rock stars. When the Swedish hard rock band Starmen released their third album 'By the Grace of Rock 'n' Roll' in 2021, people around the world began to seriously notice this band. In addition to an honorable second place in Sweden Rock Magazine's Juryn (The Jury), words of praise poured in from the USA, South America, Australia, Japan and Europe. Inspiring words, which surely helped the band in the studio, because on 'Starmenized' the motivation is at it's peak. In the same style as the rock heroes from the -70s and -80s, the band goes all the way in terms of image with full make-up and accompanying stage clothes, where each member has their own color. Of course, you can see nods to the bands from this era in appearance and musical style, but that's where the similarities end. Starmen writes their own songs and are not afraid to bring the music of previous decades into the present. Also on this album, all members participate on lead vocals, although it is mostly handled by Red Starman aka Kristian Hermanson (ex-Friends, The Poodles etc) and also a large part of the bassist Gold Starman aka Jonatan Samuelsson (Narnia). The album opens with a fast beat by the band's new drummer Silver Starman aka John Hector in the song 'Liar', where Purple Starman aka Andreas Lindgren also gets to show his skills as a guitar hero. A real flying start that shows a hungry band, ready for new adventure
