L.E.G.A.C.Y. - Midnight Riot (CD)

L.E.G.A.C.Y. is a new project of guitarist Hernán Cattaneo of Argentinian band NEON RIDER. The sound is very melodic, too, with some arena rock moments. "Midnight Riot", the debut of the band, will definitely appeal to fans of, for instance, the likes of GRAND DESIGN, NEON RIDER or HEARTLINE. Just check out the powerful title track as well as "A Place I Called Home" and "My Inner Peace", which exactly showcase the stylistic range of the material. Basically, one could say, it's AOR with balls! Songs that are meant to be performed live, though. Thumbs up!  (MS)
