 | | Description: | SUMERLANDS sind mit ihrem mit Spannung erwarteten neuen Album Dreamkiller von der Astralebene zurückgekehrt. Der von Ultimate Sin inspirierte Dunst des ersten Albums wurde mit grö�eren Hooks, Jan-Hammer-würdigen Synthies und Ausflügen in die Badlands gone doom aufgeladen! Aber obwohl Doom an den Rändern von Dreamkiller knistert, ist dies Metal, der mit dem Melodrama der Scorpions, dem emotionalen Gewicht von Foreigner und Dokken mit einer Extraportion Depression geschmiedet wurde.
Auf dem Fahrersitz sitzt der von der Kritik gefeierte Produzent, Tontechniker und Gitarrist Arthur Rizk, der diese acht metallischen Perlen in den Redwood Studios in Philadelphia veredelt hat. Rizk, der bereits für Kreator, Soulfly und Show Me The Body produziert hat, muss nicht vorgestellt werden. Seine frühere Arbeit hinter den Reglern von Power Trip, Sacred Reich, Ghostemane und vielen anderen hat über ein Jahrzehnt lang die Gemüter erhitzt, während SUMERLANDS seinen Traum vom melancholischen Tuckern verwirklicht.
Die Alchemie der Band kommt voll zur Geltung, wenn Bassist Brad Raub (Eternal Champion, Leather) hinter seinem P-Bass grinst, während Schlagzeuger Justion DeTore (Innumerable Forms, Dream Unending) dir schwungvoll ins Gesicht starrt. Der neue Sänger Brendan Radigan (Magic Circle, Stone Dagger) singt mit seinem selbstbewussten Graham Bonnet meets Ray Gillen-Geheul von verlorenen Seelen in einer verrückt gewordenen Welt. Rizk und Gitarrist John Powers halten an ihrer "Strats only"-Politik fest, während sie die vollen Marshall-Stacks einsetzen, um die Platte in glorreiche Soli zu tauchen (siehe das abschlie�ende Duell von "Death to Mercy"). Die galoppierende Leadsingle Dreamkiller" ist eine Uptempo-Tour de Force mit einem Instrumentalbreak, der Brian May zum Erröten bringen würde, und einem festivaltauglichen Refrain.
Dreamkiller ist ein Triumph des traditionellen Heavy Metal Treibstoffs!

Windhand, Pagan Altar - 2022 release. Sumerlands has returned from the astral plane with their hotly anticipated album, Dreamkiller. The Ultimate Sin inspired haze of the first album has been turbocharged with bigger hooks, Jan Hammer worthy synths, and forays into Badlands gone doom! But although doom crackles at the edges of Dreamkiller, this is metal forged with the melodrama of the Scorpions, the emotional heft of Foreigner, and Dokken with an extra dose of depression. In the driver's seat is critically acclaimed producer, engineer and guitarist Arthur Rizk, who polished these 8 metallic gems at Philadelphia's Redwood Studios. Coming off of recent production credits with Kreator, Soulfly, and Show Me The Body, Rizk needs no introduction. His past work behind the boards with Power Trip, Sacred Reich, Ghostemane and many others have blown minds for over a decade, while Sumerlands fulfills his dream of melancholic chug.?&© 2022 Relapse Records, Inc.
