Brothers Benny and Bjorn Jansson are joined by drummer Daniel Flores (Mind's Eye) and bassist Johan Niemann (Mind's Eye, Therion). Following up their debut release, Still Alive, with music that expands upon their melodic, progressive and metal tendencies, the band delivers another fine opus.
From Bjorn Jansson comes a voice that falls between a harsher, grittier James Christian (House of Lords) and the progressive nuances of Jorn Lande (Masterplan). Even hints of Doug Pinnick seep through on "Spirit Running Free" and "How I Live."
The guitar interplay between Benny and Bjorn is extremely heavy and very progressive. The duo produces edgy guitar rhythms that intertwine with the aggressive drumming of Flores and bass antics of Niemann.
The music is ferociously heavy … and for the first six songs features very melodic choruses featuring the vocal harmonies of the brothers. Teetering on the edge of the dark side with the minor tonality of many of the compositions, the band captures your attention for the first half of the album with these lavish vocal arrangements and promptly shift gears away from the big vocal choruses on some the CDs final songs.
Starting off with "In The Shadows," a progressive driving number, ripping with energy and the first huge chorus to be heard on the CD. "Spirit Running" mixes heavy riffs in the verses with a melodic bridge which takes you into the chorus. If anger is what you need then Tears of Anger complies with "I Hate You," a lyrically cheeky endeavor whose chorus proclaims these words in way that can not be construed as a loving sentiment.
"Sell My Soul" opens with a brief piano intro which is soon joined by heavy guitars and vocal accompaniment, the song appears to have an influence from Masterplan's "Soulburn," and a heavy dose of compositions recorded by House of Lords. In fact the progressive nature of many of the riffs accompanied by Bjorn's vocals produces the same level of intensity as the band Masterplan. The band gives off subtle hints of neo-classical metal influences throughout the album. "Live Those Dreams" displays those influences as well as do many of the other songs represented on the CD.
With the slight change in the vocal accompaniment on the last few songs the dynamics of In The Shadows changes slightly and it will take a few more spins to feel and hear the subtle nuances that bind the CD together as a whole. It almost makes since to start your first listening experience by jumping straight to song number 7 "Scene of the Crime," and listen until the final song "I'm Coming Home." Run through this scenario a couple of time and then spin the whole CD.
There most certainly something brewing over in Sweden, as many of today's quality progressive and hard rock releases are of from this country. Sweden has turned into Europe's equivalent to the L.A. music scene of the '80s. Tears of Anger prove that they are as good as if not better than their peers.
