BAKKEN “Death Of A Hero”

BAKKEN
“Death Of A Hero”
()
For those of us living in the Öresund region (Sweden and Denmark) we know BAKKEN pretty well. It is an amusement park just north of Copenhagen. I’ve been there as a kid. But never ever did I think that I’d experience it in the form of a metal band. That level of amusement never entered my mind. And it pretty much left my mind immediately as I was about to write them off as some sort of second rate Nickelback just based on the first riff. But luckily I stuck out a bit longer. Perhaps not the metal album I had expected. There is a light side to this that tends towards the more poppier side of things but they manage to keep it on the right side of the tracks making this a good metal album. Anders Ekdahl
