HIGH SPIRITS - Safe on the other side (17.11.23)

Oh High Spririts….. Live sind die ganz fein, auch das erste Album „Another Night“ ist ja wirklich sehr gelungen, ein „Gute-Laune-Album“. Keine Frage.
Aber die „You are here“ (dieser Sound…..bäääh) ist schon eher suboptimal und besticht durch große Gleichförmigkeit und erschreckender Belanglosigkeit.
Keine Ahnung warum ich mir das Album damals gekauft habe…. War wohl noch im „Another Night“ Rausch.
„Motivator“ ist dann zum Glück wieder besser ausgefallen, aber an das Niveau des Debüts kommt das Alkbum an keine Sekunde heran.
Das Spektakuläre fehlt, obwohl „Flying High“ , „Down the Endless Road“ und „Thank you“ mit schon schönen fröhlichen frohlockenden frischen Melodien begeistern können.
Aber um ehrlich zu sein, brauche ich kein Album mehr von diesem Mann/ dieser Band. Wurde alles schon gesagt.
Über Liveauftritte würde ich mich sogar freuen, falls in der Nähe.

Happy new year everyone, here is your new album update!

The basic tracks for 10 new songs are complete! Maybe we try another 1-2 songs just to see what happens! The 70s 80s 90s 00s and 10s influences are really strong!

Then the album will be mixed by Dan Swanö at the Unisound studio!
Release from High Roller in August!

Meanwhile we are planning some cool gigs and tours to be announced ASAP! First up is Hells Heroes III in Houston on April 18th!

Thanks for your dedication! Wishing you all the best in 2020!

Your friends!
HIGH SPIRITS

Aktor "Placebo"
Ektro Records 2020

EKTRO-139
LP / Limited LP / CD / digital
Release date 24th February 2020

Preorder and listening links are at the bottom!

The intercontinental rock trio AKTOR release their sophomore album, entitled Placebo. Drawing from the 70s’ heavy rock and the 80s’ Top 40 pop alike, the album is fit to lead the Adult Contemporary Heavy Metal genre for 2020. A musical pathway to the worlds of universal distance and awkward intimacy, the multi-melodious blend of acoustic, electric, and electronic instrumentation on Placebo provides a deep foundation for singer Chris Black’s inquisitive lyrics and smashing choruses. While the myriad propelling forces behind AKTOR – Jussi Lehtisalo, Tomi Leppänen and Chris (Professor) Black – may seem cloaked in the mystery called abundance, the addictive nature of their eclectic blend is no mystery at all.

For fans of Circle, Dawnbringer, Pharaoh Overlord, Alan Davey, Sandy Pearlman, Angel Rat, Mental Vortex, Roky Erickson, Rickenbacker, Rainbow Road, and Paranoia (the first AKTOR album, of course).

Most important please take care these days & always!

Ich habe sie jetzt oft genug gehört, um mir ein (erstes) Urteil zu bilden.
Bin eigentlich mit keinerlei Erwartungen an die Scheibe gegangen.
Und anfänglich dachte ich "Holy Shit, was ist das denn bloß?"
Mittlerweile pendelt sich allerdings zwischen 6,5-8 Punkte ein.
Mit (etwas?) Luft nach oben.
Ist zwar nicht alles Gold was glänzt, aber klingt doch schon wesentlich vielversprechender :cool:
