Info:
A hard rock band from Stockholm, Sweden.JÃrgen, Hans and Bo had previously recorded some demos with the melodic hard rock band Grinder, later known as Landslide, who also had one song on the 'Rockbox' compilation.Black Cat Moan writes music to move your body and awaken your mind. Music with an eccentric and authentic groove. Born of the blues and raised by rock and roll.A guitar-driven sound crafted by musicians who have paid their dues on and off the stage. Four souls driven by a common fire to embrace their journey. Right here. Right now. And to share this fire with those who are looking for more than just a musical hook or lyrical cliché.
Album:
Based in Stockholm, BLACK CAT MOAN debuted in 1991 with the self-titled album ‘Black Cat Moan’, which was received enthusiastically with its bluesy hard rock inspired by ’70s Aerosmith, Great White, some Tesla, etc. The sessions for a second album started next year but due to the bankruptcy of their record label, those recordings were never completed. The band tried to continue for a while, but eventually fell apart.After 31 years finally that successor sees the light of day, titled ”Departure”, recorded by original members Lars ‘Axelsson’ Isaksson (vocals), Jörgen Lantto (guitar, bass) and Bo Åström (drums).BLACK CAT MOAN rocks mercilessly with a late Seventies arena-rock attack, and since opener ‘Crash’ the guys go to the bone. A fierce dirty hard rocker in which the snarling vocals quickly remind of Axl Rose, the punchy rhytm section move your skeleton and there’s a biting guitar work.Title track ‘Departure’ sounds like a funky version of ’80s LA Sunset Strip scene with grinding grooves and raspy vocals. Lars’ voice occasionally go in the Robert Plant direction in ‘Molotov Cocktail’, while this pumping rocker also has the necessary Aerosmith traits.After the nasty rocker ‘Boogie Woogie Man’, AC/DC is fully present in the angular ‘Shutdown’ and in ‘Bad Habits Die Hard’.‘Tiger Ribs’ has some later Led Zeppelin on it, followed by the cutting hard rock of ‘Electrified’. The Guns N’ Roses sound is fully present in ‘No Mediocracy’ and ‘The Beagle Boys’, however BLACK CAT MOAN sounds more ‘Seventies’.The cover of Badfinger’s ‘Lonely You’ is surprising and sounds like the well-groomed side of Great White meets Guns N’ Roses.If you love your classic Seventies rock n’ roll style with a bluesy touch and an arena feel, you need to hear Black Cat Moan’s second album, which sounds the way every Classic Rock fan wants it: raw, dirty and hard!
