So here is a band I heard for the first time at Rosfest 2009 where they were a last minute replacement. I went in there with no expectations and saw a wonderful performance. At the time they were supporting what became my favorite Galahad album, Empires Never Last(ENL). I was immediately captivated by Stu’s vocals and stage presence where I was knocked on my back side to their rendition of I Could be God Since then this band has been very prolific and for my money maybe has never made an album as good as ENL but everyone has been well worth the purchase. Like all the other albums I highly recommend this album.
This particular album as is inferred by the title is much mellower than their predecessors.
This is one of the few bands that have an open invitation to play Chicago if they ever decide to take me up on that offer we will let you know here. To give you an idea of my taste in music, other bands that have taken me up on that offer are Phideaux, Guy Manning, Unitopia, Unreal City, Discipline.
If you are wondering why Guardian Angel sounds familiar it was on their live release Solidarit. This life Could Be My Last is also from the a fore mentioned ENL.
ALBUM HIGHLIGHTS: Guardian Angel, Iceberg, Willow Way,Easier Said Than Done, Marz (And Beyond)
