Black Swan - Paralysed (CD)

Robin McAuley (v, MSG, GRAND PRIX), Reb Beach (g, WHITESNAKE, WINGER), Jeff Pilson (b, DOKKEN, FOREIGNER) and Matt Starr (d, ACE FREHLEY, MR.BIG), all of them true masters of their own. Old school hard rock with elements of melodic metal. The third effort of this exceptional outfit is reminiscent of DEEP PURPLE or (of course) MCAULEY SCHENKER GROUP here and there only to create something pretty unique the next moment. There are fine hooklines on "Paralysed" allover and McAuley's voive is on the spot. Powerfully produced by Pilson. (MS)
