KAASIN - The Underworld +1 (CD)

KAASIN from Norway play traditional hard rock with lots of seventies vibes in the vein of DEEP PURPLE or RAINBOW. The second album "The Underworld" underlines this fact, too. The guys around Jo Henning Kaasin (g, ex COME TASTE THE BAND) are a hot secret. A pristine and multi-facetted production, with especially the bass sound is reminiscent of IRON MAIDEN here and there, highlights the eleven tracks. Frontman Fronter Jan Thore Grefstad (SAINT DEAMON, TNT) does a great job, too, and sings for his life no matter if we talk solid rockers ("he Real World") or initially rather calm tracks ("Iron Horse"). Cool record! (MS)
