BAND BlackBeer

ALBUM TAKE THE FREEDOM

LABEL Pure Steel Records

OUT May 13th, 2022

OUR RATING 75/100

French Hard Rock band BlackBeer, who recently signed a worldwide multi-album deal with PURE STEEL RECORDS, will release their debut full-length entitled “Take the Freedom” on May 13th, 2022.

Consisting of 5 musicians from Venezuela, Argentina and France, paying tribute to hard rock masters, they provide their sound with a contemporary touch.

Founded in 2021 in the south of France, their sound is oriented towards the great bands of the 80s, offering a wide range of different hard rock styles.

The Reyes brothers Emmy and Emil (former members of the symphonic metal band GAMALYEL), who left Venezuela for political reasons, have always been following the musical path of singer Ivan Sencion and were great admirers of his work. Emmy Reyes (Guitar, ex-ANCIENT SETTLERS) served in the Frechch Foreign Legion for 8 years, while his brother Emil Reyes, (Bass, ex-GAMALYEL) came to Europe as a political refugee. Having settled in France only a few years ago, they started working with Franco-Venezuelan guitarist Bertrand Cape, founder and guitarist of the metal band ALICE IN HELL. Drummer Silvayn Vidal, French citizen, finally completed the rhythm section of BlackBeer while the well-known vocalist Ivan Sencion completed the bands line-up. Sencion is also the singer of the Argentine hard rock band WATCHMEN and ex-vocalist of the heavy metal band JERIKO, who shared the stage with bands like Whitesnake, Europe, among others.

Ten songs in this debut that, after an intro, starts with THE NIGHT IS READY, a great squared RNR song, Cathy when it needs.

A great 80’s flavour in TAKE THE FREEDOM and THE KING OF WATER, while THE GIFT shows their more melodic side.

If NOW OR NEVER and ANGEL are more rhythmic tunes, ANGEL and SWEET LIFE, WHITESNAKE’s oriented, are two of our best.

Again melody in TURN OFF THE PAIN, one step behind, while HOT DEMON is a powerful song that ends in the best way this platter.

A BAND WITH GOOD POTENTIAL FOR THE FUTURE! TAKE A LOOK!!
