To be honest I have really seldom opportunity to review these type of bands. Concretely I mean the kind of music of Hungarian band – H.A.R.D.. I remember how many years ago I bought to my collection the vinyl plate of band – WILDFIRE. WILDFIRE was a sort of a Heavy Metal, but still not as heavy as may other bands. Their music was something between Hard Rock or Glam Metal. Moreover, this band (WILDFIRE) made a strong impression on me, so until today I am listening of their album. So, the first sounds of H.A. R.D. reminded me the music in style of WILDFIRE, and next associations were with BON FIRE, BON JOVI or EUROPE…
H.A.R.D. music is very melodious and obviously with Hard Rock's claw, paces of Rock'n'roll as well as the guitar's solos. The melodious vocal parties sound on the front of the whole. And the sound of Hammond's keys in background sometimes creates characteristic climate. The songs often begin with the key's introductions, outright as ballad-songs, where the rest of instruments apear gradually to amplify the dynamics of songs. The pace of songs is interlaced once we can listen the balladic pieces, other times the sharper guitar's hitting, obviously in Hard Rock's limits.
To sum up, the Traveler is a really catchy and quite pleasant album. The melodies fall into ears quickly, and without any problem we can hum a melodious line together with the vocalist or the backing singers. Anyway the refrains in texts in the booklet are clearly marked (capital letters) maybe to encourage the common singing 🙂
Sarcastic people would can say that the music of H.A.R.D. is for excited girls. Maybe it is… But is something more splendid from the mass of hot girl under a scene? 🙂
