Sounds Like: listen to previews of all 20 songs from the new album at:
HNV from Luxembourg impresses me with their double album. First I saw that mighty artwork. And after the first listening I know that here grows something special. The band not wants a single hit to break through. This is a complex output, with 20 songs, one video and great artwork / packing.
The opener THE LIQUOR STORY is modern Rock with some Scandinavian Hardcore influences. A monster of a song! THE HORROR SHOW includes some Rock’n’roll influences and a mighty refrain. TOMORROW WAS YESTERDAY have some T(I)NC influences and JACOB`S PHILOSOPHY rocks! WHEN THE LEAVES.... and the ending SHE, HER PINK SPACESHIP AND ME are great acoustic tracks. Do you know THE LOST PATROL? Similar sounds. Awesome! Disc 2 is no filler material. It is on the same high standard like the first disc and with DEVIL TRAPPED IN A BOX they have a fast forward rocking track with some Stoner influences. Disc 2 features more the riff oriented material. THE MYSTIC COLOURS SONG or CONTRADICTIONS are killer and rock like hell. And with ACOUSTIC SONG IN G a great song end this double CD. All in all a mighty release. On TAKE THIS RIDE OR YOU WILL NEVER KNOW everything fits perfect and all small puzzle parts form to a huge masterpiece.
