Dark Sky - Empty Faces
I have always seen potential in Dark Sky and with their last album, “Living & Dying” (AOR Heaven, 2005), I welcomed them into the first league of German melodic rock bands, already populated by such great acts as Bonfire, Jaded Heart and a whole lot more. Following the release of that album, the band gigged a lot (in support of Scorpions and Thunder) before Frank Breuninger (v) and Steffen Doll (g) started writing material for album # 4. At the beginning of 2007 the band entered the Bazement Studio near Wiesbaden, once again under the helm of producer Markus Teske (Vanden Plas), where they recorded 6 tracks for a demo. The recorded material was so good that a sceptic Georg Siegl gave the guys the green light to record a second full-length album for his label. Being a busy guy however, Dark Sky had to wait for Teske until February of this year before they could record enough additional songs to make a strong selection.
The result is called “Empty Faces” and it’s once again an impressive piece of work from this sympathetic melodic hard rock band hailing from South Germany. The songs are of a high quality, performed by a seasoned band in optima forma and produced in the best possible way. So, all is here to force that much-deserved and long-awaited breakthrough. Among the songs that I like most are the up-tempo opener “Hands Up”, the title song “Empty Faces” (one of the heaviest DS tracks so far), the Michael Sembello cover “Maniac” (they made it sound like a track of their own), the propelling rocker “Pleasure & Pain” and the hidden track “Final Day”. Another winner for Dark Sky and AOR Heaven, so don’t hesitate to order your copy now!
