Air Raid - Across The Line (CD)

"Across The Line", originally released in 2017 and long gone from the shelves, is re-released now, even though (unfortunately) without any bonus cuts. The Swedish outfit and their melodic metal with elements of old school metal, neo classic guitar sounds, NWOBHM as well as melodic power metal fully convince on this sophomore album. Frontman Fredrik Werner, who is fronting AOR and melodic outfit OSUKARU, too, is one of the best in the genre. AIR RAID rock like hell but also offer a fine sense for melody. Honest music played by a hungry band. (MS)
