WILDESTARR
”Beyond The Rain”
(Scarlet Records)
Battle Helm Rating
It hits me every now and then how influential Swedish music has been on the international scene for the last 20- 30 years. Living with it every day in one way or another you don’t really reflect on it. It is just there. But when I heard the first proper track on WILDESTARR’s new album it hit me. I am not gonna say that this whole album is a result of a Swedish influence but that first track made me think Hardcore Superstar. To be honest I don’t really have that firm a grip of what WILDESTARR are all about. There is the glam/sleaze of a band like HCSS but then you also got that of a full on heavy metal band. Not that it really matters as long as it is good. And good is what this is. This is a full on heart starter from first to last. Anders Ekdahl
