Astral Doors

Swedish metallers ASTRAL DOORS, who feature in their ranks LION'S SHARE vocalist Patrik Johansson, have issued the following update:

"So far we have recorded the vocals to five new songs and my feeling is that this time you will hear a couple of new sides of ASTRAL DOORS. For example, today's song is a heavy-ballad kind of tune named 'Bastard Son'. I promise you, you have never heard Patrik sing with such emotion before, it's breathtaking! On the other hand, we have harder songs than ever before as well. 'Planet Earth' is one example of that — the meanest song we have done this far. But don't worry, it will all fit in the frame of the true ASTRAL sound. So I guess you will hear a more varying ASTRAL DOORS when this, as-yet-untitled record hits stores. When? After the summer of 2007, I guess."

ASTRAL DOORS' third album, "Astralism", was re-released in August 2006 as a digipack, featuring a newly written bonus track, entitled "21st Century Medieval". "The sound on the album has been polished and has been remastered by a profesional," the band previously wrote on its web site. "This is how it was meant to sound from the beginning. Sounds insane but the first version slipped through without our approval. If we've had the last word the first version would never been released, that's for sure."

"Astralism" was originally released in March 2006 via Locomotive Music. The CD is described by the band as "another slab of old-school hard rock with a touch of metal — something you can't help loving."

okay, i see your point. but, your take on it doesn't mean the album itself is great. The drums are barely heard, and his vocals really aren't that good throughout.

you just basically restated my own thoughts! read the review on the 80s forum before you go all mad rushing to ridicule my thoughts on his vocal work, and i did say he reminds me of Dio sometimes but WHEN he goes deep and distorted he does not, in anyw way, remind me of Dio's voice.

As for "shunning" a genre of metal, the only "shunning" i do is to emo music, the death metal growl unless the music abolutely blows and the vocals are just over-the-top ridiculously retarded, will get play from me.

next time, do your research on what I say before making accusations and then by yourself saying the same thing I've already said!

There's no link in any of your posts where I can find any reviews. I clicked your signature but couldn't figure out how that was supposed to bring me to any reviews.
