Lazarus Dream - Imaginary Life (CD)

LAZARUS DREAM, that's Markus Pfeffer (g, WINTERLAND, BARNABAS SKY, ex SCARLETT) and Carsten "Lizard" Schulz (v, ex-DOMAIN, EVIDENCE ONE) as well as drummer Markus Herzog (DOUBLE CRUSH SYNDROM) from now on. Pfeffer's songwriting consists of melodic hard rock here. Album number three is less experimental as the last one ("Lifeline" from 2022) which has been a conscious decision. Apart from rockers like "Rebel Again" or "Vertigo", there's a beautiful ballad ("Beauty Among The Ruins"). Stephan Lill (g, VANDEN PLAS) guests with a guitar solo. Definitely check out the mighty opener "The Sweetest Chaos". (MS)
