EP Review: Silver Nightmares - The Wandering Angel EP (Prog AOR, 2019)

A wonderful EP that invites to dream away of your everday troubles but also shows the inner fights we all have to struggle with.

The cover already let's you think of another world.

The strongest part of this italian release is it's fairytale like concept. It's already the packaging that tell's you that something different awaits inside. Maybe it's the old tree that reveals truth and it may guide us through the minutes of listening.
 
The Silver Nightmares EP shares a wealth of instrumentation with the listener, even a flute like on "Dick Dastardly" or the trumpet on "David The King" have been put inside. 

It's not a common thing to have two vocalists but it works fine here.
They come around to me as if they both stand each for one side. Maybe it's the light and the dark with both fighting against each other. 

It's a rough experience so be prepared that listening this piece of music is challenging at times. Overall it's deeply rooted in the AOR music style with many high notes flying around. My favorite is the title track for it's heavyness and song number four "David The King" with the groove and wide sound inside.  
 
A epic balladesque feeling comes in at "Dame Nature" and marks a point of reloading of energy. Warmly welcomed.
Overall you can listen to this many times, there are always new things to discover.  

The only thing that I've found being negative is the mid-quality of the sound. It would have been nice to have more clarity.

Please support the band with a purchase so they continue to create more fine tunes for all of us. Physical copies are available at Bandcamp as well as the download both at a very fair price (7 Dollar CD, 3 Euro DL).

Dirty Machine lift the mood up with Rock and Eat video performance

Recently I felt down and was in need to find something to lift me up again. Happily music has the power to cheer you up many times. This time around it was Dirty Machine's video for "Built" that gave me back my power.

It's this seamless and not-stoppable riff and rhythm power going down in one piece that lays the basics for my good mood. On top of that the vocals are top notch and I love to hear that there are two vocalists who take down the stuff so solid and heavily trained that you can't do anything elese but feel good again.

Plus the vid shows how small place you need to perform. The band picked a packed restaurant to perform. It often feels to me as if the smalest location can be filled with life if only there's a few space for a live band.

Be sure to follow the band on Facebook or the band's website. They have some great stuff comin' like a free show on December the 18th at the Whisky A Go-Go. Don't miss out your chance to have a good time!
