Category: Hard Rock
Hard rock (or heavy rock) is a loosely defined subgenre of rock music which has its earliest roots in mid-1960s garage rock, blues rock and psychedelic rock. It is typified by a heavy use of aggressive vocals, distorted electric guitars, bass guitar, drums, and often accompanied with pianos and keyboards.
ANCARA – Chasing Shadows (2012)
ANCARA is a band from Finland with a lot of history going on. It was formed back in the mid-80s under the name of Metal Circus before changing its name during the nineties to Resistance, and finally to Ancara in 1996.
“Chasing Shadows” is Ancara’s third album, recorded and released in 2009 only in Finland through their own label. Now, after 3 long years of wait, it is presented and distributed worldwide.
This move is the tip of the iceberg for the international presentation of the band, who are in their first European tour right now and has recorded a totally new album in Los Angeles, Hollywood, to be released later this year.
Ancara plays a commercial Melodic Hard Rock with a typical Finnish style and sound. The band has been connected in the past with their compatriots Brother Firetribe, so this gives you a clear idea about the music: rockin’ tunes with a nod to the ’80s / ’90s.
Ancara’s strength are self-evident. Good song composition with strong melodies, vocal harmonies and clever hooks are strengthened by skillful musicianship. Mostly the arrangements are creative, a fresh interpretation upon the classic melodic hard rock theme without sacrificing familiarity.
You hear this at the start with “We Paint December”, which offers a bit metal edgy guitars with a fine harmonious vocal arrangement.
We have more gritty hard rock in the chords of “Lodestar”, only to be tempered by the melodic hook of the chorus.
Then there’s simply classic melodic hard rock, with modern touches sometimes but still familiar, in “Far From Grace”, the title track “Chasing Shadows”, “High Hopes” and the finisher “Farewell”. That last song is pure arena-ready rock.
On the balladry side, “Tears With Smile” is moody and dark slow tune with 2005’s Finnish Idols finalist AGNES (Pihlava) on a vocal duet.
Ancara’s “Chasing Shadows” offers a fresh and entertaining interpretation of Eighties & Nineties melodic hard rock, with strong, solid compositions.
There’s a welcomed diversity to the songs influenced by many acts but each standing with its own integrity. Brother Firetribe and H.E.A.T comes to mind, of course not yet with their high quality standards.
I hear little doubts in some vocal parts and in how some arrangements are rounded, but keeping in mind that these songs where recorded & produced by themselves, this is a minor point. I’m sure these issues were corrected in the forthcoming album, as with an expertise producer this band has a tremendous potential.
If you like the sound & style of the present European Melodic Rock (specially Scandinavian) scene, you need to check “Chasing Shadows” pronto.

THE CULT – For The Animals 2012 single
Legendary band THE CULT is back with the new album “Choice Of Weapon”, featuring the original core duo of Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy.
The disc sees the band returning to their good, hard rocking sound & style which made them famous during the late eighties / early nineties. The two already released singles are a clear proof of that.
Frontman Ian Astbury says the band intended to tap into a primal power on the new CD.
“While The Cult have always been open to a wide range of influences, some people feel the need to pigeonhole us,” says Astbury.
“We’ve always been an outsider group; we don’t seem to fit completely with an existing genre, although the new material is hard rock oriented.
The song “For The Animals” reflects the sentiment that we are a raw, visceral animal, independent and beholden to no one. We celebrate that aspect that is also rising in the culture. We go where nature takes us.”
Judging the two singles, “Choice Of Weapon” will be a return to the good hard rockin’ days for THE CULT. Surely part of this are the expert hands of Bob Rock (METALLICA, MOTLEY CRUE) producing, I can hear his touch on both tracks.
I love The Cult, can’t wait until the album hit the stores on May 22nd.

Four Indians are all brothers and sisters, playing blues-rock. Here, you and the music and solo above the roof. This “new American blues-rock”, thickness and density which sometimes reach a surreal texture. Almost sound lava – viscous, elastic, searing guitar staccato, rolled heavy riffs. All this wealth on the background of dense and low vocal Mato Nanzhi.
