Peterified - Trial By Fire (CD) Digipak

PETERIFIED is the creative brainchild of songwriter Peter Johansson (v, ex-MAGASIN 99, ex AMBER LYNX) and it contains lots of melodic stadium rock elements in the vein of EUROPE or MEAT LOAF for instance plus a certain portion of Swedish melancholy. Drummer Anton Roos is known from SEVENTH CRYSTAL. Produced by Victor Olsson (SAFFIRE, GATHERING OF KINGS). The feel good track "Helpless" and the beautifully crafted "Mill Valley (Coming Home)" with its QUEEN-like moments provide a good first impression. (MS)
