GINEVRA – We Belong to the Stars

What a wicked surprise this potent slab of melodic heavy metal/hard rock is. Featuring the talented singer Kristian Fyhr (Seventh Crystal), renowned guitar-slinger Magnus Karlsson (Primal Fear, The Ferrymen), kick-ass bassist Jimmy Jay (H.E.A.T.), and drummer Magnus Ulfstedt (Nordic Union), it is safe to say that these dudes know exactly what they are doing and in firm control of how to properly construct an album that is rich in tone, flavor, and melodic sensibility.

The riffs are remarkably strong and complement the vocal lines superbly while the solid and robust rhythm section leaves little to be desired in terms of punch and low-end frequencies. Fyhr is undoubtedly a great songwriter with a knack for conjuring up some gorgeous melodies and harmonies to go on top of everything else, and there is such a natural flow to the songs that it sounds almost effortless at times. We Belong to the Stars is quality hard rock containing atmosphere and class, and tunes such as the thunderous ‘Brokenhearted’, the epic ‘My Rock ‘n’ Roll’, and the melancholy ‘I’ll be Around’ deserve to be devoured ferociously by all you lovers of powerful rock music.
