Scandinavian hard rock with strong Rainbow and Yngwie Malmsteen influences here on the debut album Fire Flight. Journeyman singer Goran Edman easily captures the lows and highs of material like “Russian Summer”, “The Battle Within” plus a tender ballad such as “Princess Of The Night”. “Rendevouz” gives keyboardist Jeppe Lund and guitarist Jonas Larsen the chance to flex their instrumental dexterity prowess. Not super thrilled with the static tones in the rhythm section production-wise, outside of that this one is for those who prefer song-oriented neo-classically laden hard rock.
