More goods
delivered by the Stormspell camp, this is the third album by the
project that now has turned into a proper band. Their earlier
releases hasn't really taken me by storm to be honest, I liked the
Blazon Stone- and Mortyr-albums much more than the previous Rocka
Rollas-album. But when I heard the first samples from The Road To
Destruction, it was clear that they were about to unleash something
way more immense this time.
The riffs, the songs and the production are all simply spot on, and the fact that Ced has taken over the vocals himself this time is definitely contributing to the improvement, sounding like a mix of Kai Hansen (Helloween) and Bert Kivits (Emerald). Adding everything up, what you get is an album that's definitely one of the best of this year, and an album that takes Rocka Rollas right up to the top of the most interesting bands in Sweden right now. If they keep their current very active release-schedule, we hopefully have lots of more great albums to look forward to in a not so distant future. 8.5/10 /H
