BAND Redstacks

ALBUM REVIVAL OF THE FITTEST

LABEL Pure Steel Records

OUT Jan 21st, 2022

OUR RATING 85/100

The debut album from Dutch Classic Hard Rock band REDSTACKS, entitled “Revival of the Fittest” is scheduled for January 21st, 2022 on PURE STEEL RECORDS.

The band was founded by Jeffrey Revet and Jouke Westerhof in 2018; the upcoming debut album will feature well-known vocalists, such as Laura Guldemond from Burning Witches and Jan Willem Ketelaers from Ayreon, among others.

A truly interesting band that provides a fancy keyboards-driven hard rock sound, son of Deep Purple, Uriah HEEP and Alcatrazz but with a personal touch that you can find since OVERTURE 1848, enhanced from clear vocals, a rich structure and a large space for both guitar and keyboards solos.

If in OCEANS prevails the melodic side, in JEALOUSY, after a lilting start, we can appreciate a wider song enriched by tasty tempo changes.

More rhythmic DREAMWORLD JUNKIE, that reminds influences from above mentioned ALCATRAZZ, while MERCY provides an intriguing melody.

One of our favorite is COLD, followed by MIND’S EYE, maybe a step behind.

Mighty DYSTOPIA NOW shows a band able to be stronger when it needs, followed by wider MONEY and more toughtful VORTEX.

More rhythmic ANGELS IN CRIME, with a true “solo-war” between guitar and keys ends in the best way an album that WE SUGGEST!!
