'Into The Within' is the 3rd release from British Hard Rockers
Eden, a band led by guitarist Vince “Dodgy” O’Regan, who along
with Nick Workman the pair are hard working rockers who are bringing
back British Hard Rock with a bang with this new release. This is an all guns blazing British and I say again British, Hard Rock
album that gets off to a storming start with ‘Anything Goes’, with
O’Regan making his mark on the album early on with some chunky riffs,
before Workman unleashes a towering vocal, all the while the massive
rhythm section of Al Mills and Lynch Radinsky are the foundation.
Everything else is built upon then all interwoven with the keyboards of
James Screaton. The hard rock just keeps on coming as the tempo is really picked up with
’Revolution Man’, again Workman’s vocals tower above the fiery
licks of O’Regan, before one of my favourites off the album the title
track ‘Into The Within’, a heady bass line from Mills runs through
the entire track, adding a touch of Metal to proceedings. Things go all classic rock with ‘Here Today (Gone Tomorrow)’, with
the keyboards of James Screaton
taking centre stage more on this one. Then it's time for a little
eastern promise with the Blue Murderesque tones of ‘Strong’, you all
remember 'Valley Of The Kings'?, if so then you'll know what this ones
sounds like. It's back to the
big licks with the excellent up tempo rocker ‘Lay Me Down’, a real
tour de force from O’Regan once again brings this one to boiling point
while Workman gives one of his best vocals of the album so far. Those who like a
bit more meat on your Hard Rock then the heavy bass infused ‘All
That’s Bad For Me’ is the one for you. More Melodic Metal than
Hard Rock, a real barnstormer of a track and shows that the band have
more that one string to their bow, as they bring the big guns for this
one. After the barrage
of the last track its time to bring it down just a touch with the gentle
tones of ‘Once In A Lifetime’, but this is just a short reprise as
the tempo and groove is brought up big style with ‘Your Symphony’
and another of my favourites the down right anthemic ‘Fire Me Up’. The album closes
with the old school rocker ‘Loud & Clear’, well I say closes the
11 tracks listed any way, the album also has four extra tracks starting
off with the semi-acoustic ballad ‘Blinded By The Light’ before
rockin' it up with a cover of Zeppelin’s ‘Whole Lotta Love’. It's back to
semi-acoustic stuff with ‘Best Of Me’ before the final
track ‘Devils Child’, which round off this hidden section of the
album which added with the 11 previous tracks make great listening for
all fans of good Hard Rock and again highlights the talents of some of
Britain’s finest musicians in the scene today. |
