REVOLUTION RENAISSANCE – Age Of Aquarius [ fake 2024 reissue +7 bonus] , MP3+FLAC

Now were featuring in exclusive Timmo Tolkki’s REVOLUTION RENAISSANCE second album “Age Of Aquarius” in its fresh 2024 reissue including no less than 7 bonus tracks, previously unreleased recordings from the group’s first album sessions.

For this second REVOLUTION RENAISSANCE opus Tolkki was looking for a more ‘band’ sound enlisting a stable line up of musicians, including melodic vocalist Gus Monsanto as main front man. Musically, the approach is much more heavy than previous album ‘New Era’, still melodic and with hard rock overtones yet symphonic passages and a progressive metal development on some tracks. All strong material.
But the interesting thing in this reissue are the bonus tracks: songs recorded during the pre-production sessions of previous album ‘New Era’, some are previously unreleased and some are early versions of the album tracks.
If you ask me, these early versions are even better, muscular melodic hard rockers. And while are listed as ‘demo versions’, the mix and sound quality are fantastic.
