Bio:
STATEMENT is a Hard Rock band from Copenhagen, Denmark formed in 2011 and just this month will be releasing their debut album called “Monsters”. Apparently experienced musicians from the Danish Metal scene joined forces for the fulfillment of this institution....with members coming together from a number of existing bands and brought together by their love of Classic Hard Rock: the likes of Scorpions, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Metallica.What we get is a wonderful album where you feel the band is letting off steam while creating some great heavy Hard Rock, with lyrics that centre around vocalist Jannick Brochdorf’s early life where “drugs, drinking, depressions and a tough party nights in the city, was a great part of his life” Musically ‘Monsters’ is immediate, and both grounded enough to please a Hard Rock audience and Heavy enough to entice Metalheads. Starting out with ‘Kill the Times/Monsters’ there’s a great groove, wonderful backline and some nice guitar, all laying the foundations for some great attitude-laden vocals.It’s tracks like ‘Say Hello’ where you really hear that love of the greats, simple guitars, great delivery, it’s a song that captures that feel that the best Hard Rock gives – the feeling of freedom and passion. The softer ‘Crawling’ takes the pace down to deliver a ballad of substance, while ‘Keep you Alive’ has a chugging riff that brings the Metal but retains the melody. ‘Dropzone’ too has a heavier dynamic and cool Metal riff while ‘Control’ relies more on a great harmony.This is a great album that never lets up, nor does it fail to impress, with each and every song worthy of inclusion. Like every album you’ll have your personal favourites and for us one of those is ‘Childhood Dreams’ which channels the attitude of bands like Skid Row via Metallica through a classic rock looking glass. The album ends strongly too: the slower ‘To Be a Man’ starts off slow, searching, reaching before the guitar busts into life just as you hoped it would. ‘Another Stage’ the fastest song here sees the world from the stage, with a bristling riff and injection of melody before possibly the strongest chorus here has you singing along and banging that head. ‘I Need to Know’ lessens the pace somewhat before the melancholy ‘Dad’ ends proceedings with the most emotional and personal song here. Statement is certainly a band to watch and have produced a fine debut. Definitely a band to watch.
Album:
”Dreams From The Darkest Side” is a heavy rock album that clearly expresses the band’s personality and unity. Based on the band’s recognizable cosmos, ”Dreams From The Darkest Side” carries Statement further into the facets of metal. An even higher range of flashy melodies and heavy metal elements characterise ”Dreams From The Darkest Side”, without the band giving up their iconic choruses and exuberant guitar solos in the span between rock, metal and emotional ballads. The lyrics are based on the band’s own depictions and experiences of life, with reference to the world we live in. Deeply personal tales of band members’ depression, demonic thoughts, the struggle to achieve dreams and the eternal search for love have brought Statement into the intensity and bias of fragility.Set in the black hole of thought, ”Dreams From The Darkest Side” contains many emotions that make the album the band’s most cohesive and personal album to date. In this spirit, the band delivers with ”Dreams From The Darkest Side” an ambitious, magnificent and intense craft - a true Statement!Statement hail from the dusty and dirty suburbs of Copenhagen, combining the raw power of several genres with their field-warrior melodic heavy rock and their assertive metal approach to form their own unique sound - a sound that straddles hard rock, heavy metal and softer elements from the world of pop.
