Album:

It was about time: Frontiers Music has signed melodic hard rockers BLOODY HEELS for their next album to be released this year.These guys are one of the most talented young bands appeared recently, and their debut CD “Through Mystery” one of the best 2017 releases without a doubt.Here’s “Through Mystery [Japan Edition +5]“, the limited Japanese edition of the album including 5 bonus tracks – a rarity as the Japan record label whom release it already broke so this version won’t be reissued anytime soon.And we have more for you; a standalone single the guys released by themselves.“Through Mystery” sounds absolutely influenced by late ’80s / early ’90s hard rock that glam morphed to. A time where big riffs and strong melodies still ruled until grunge and the music industry wrecked it for us.This album moves away from a complete bluesy element of hard rock and adds an influence of AOR with Vicky White’s throaty David Coverdale-esque vocals but enough crunch that it could be played at a Sunset Strip club.Starting with ‘mysterious’ keyboards / synths so ’80s, ‘Danger Calling’ is a terrific rocker wrapped by an AOR feeling resembling more the 1987s British scene than the American, with some Peroux and After Hours on it. Great stuff!Next ‘Can’t Help Myself’ is another highlight, where the aforementioned influences appear in full form combined with a machine gun-like bass drum assault delivered by Gus Hawk to really punctuate the track. Brilliant songwriting if you ask me.Title track ‘Through Mystery’ returns to the AOR territory but this time in the form of a midtempo with spellbound vocals and excellent guitar work. A very original and elaborated song.‘Victim’ is a pretty killer hard rocker with a punchy attack, while ‘Cheap Little Liar’ in my opinion does contain some shades of Skid Row’s Monkey Business and will satisfy many classic hard rock fans’ appetite.Other notable tracks include the catchy ‘Take off Your Mask’, midpaced rocker ‘Love May Have Gone’ (some Heaven’s Edge here), and ‘Bittersweet Memories’ which follow this edgy AOR-with-chops formula that Bloody Heels is producing.Regarding the bonuses, song titles seak by themselves: ‘Fight To Survive’, ‘Shoot To Thrill’ (none of these are covers, all originals), ‘Hungry For Your Love’, ‘Summer Nights’… all these takes you back to 1985 with a bang!Darn, Bloody Heels’ “Through Mystery” is one of the freshest, catchy rockn’ albums appeared in recent time.Mixing equal parts of melodious hard with edgy AOR, British + American and of course Scandinavian influences, this album is a blast. The only complaint is the album cover art that doesn’t reflects the stormy rockin’ stuff packed inside.Mature songwriting, more than a solid musicianship and beautiful production quality round up one of the best debuts of the decade. Yeah, it’s that good.

Bloody Heels - Ignite The Sky (2020)

Bio:

A glam/pop-metal band from Northern Europe fueled with the rock n' roll from the 80's.Playing loud, giving a great show and having a good time!We are glam-metal, pop metal, sleaze band from Northen Europe ! Fueled with 80s metal and rock, but trying to do it with are own style. This is our first EP! We have played a lot of small and big shows and looking forward to do much more !

Album:

Hard rockers BLOODY HEELS recently joined the Frontiers Music label’s rapidly expanding pool of young talent and one listen to their debut album with them – ‘Ignite The Sky‘ – will easily explain why the label had to sign them up. With nods to the great ’80s hard rock scene, but also bordering on classic metal (listen to those kicks drums on ‘Criminal Masterminds’), this band is a delightful mix of catchy and driving.With a great whisky-soaked sounding throat, vocalist Vicky White provides the perfect voice for the thunder and lightning that guitarist Harry Rivers, bassist Gunn Everett, and drummer Gus Hawk are raining down upon us.The heat of summer has arrived, and with it the eager anticipation for long nights out on the town filled with laughter, drinks, and driving with the windows down towards a setting sun. All of those seeking a soundtrack for such carefree escapades need look no further than the blissful electric bite of “Ignite the Sky,” an album as brilliantly bright as the purest neon-soaked midnight.With what can only be described as genuine hard rock sharpened on the unforgiving edge of metal, Bloody Heels brings perspective and authenticity with an album that is anything but just another rehash of the 80’s glory days.“Ignite the Sky” is absolutely impenetrable from start to finish, bursting at the seams with explosive riffs and unstoppable energy that give wings to an album that is larger than life. Also not without its fair share of melody, Bloody Heels’ sophomore album highlights life’s most triumphant moments with its upbeat pursuit to harness the spirit of hard rock.The record has the uncanny ability to perfectly capture the atmosphere of a single moment in time, honoring each dimension held within those precious seconds with a portrait of their full intensity.This magic is only possible as a result of the sheer chemistry between the musicians of Bloody Heels, the quartet working in perfect unison to craft an opus that balances a vocal-forward focus with the stellar musicianship achieved by its instrumentalists as they strive towards a common vision.Vocalist Vicky White proves his versatility as a singer from belting out the high-pitched chorus of “Farewell to Yesterday” through the tender crooning that weaves the first verse of “Healing Waters.” Complemented by the robust depth offered by expertly balanced backing vocals, White howls, rasps, and sings his way through “Ignite the Sky” without ever losing steam.His vocal prowess is highlighted in a range that is fully explored throughout the album’s duration, but reaches some of its most enjoyable moments in the heavy heart of “Criminal Mastermind” and clean isolation of “Black Swan.”The sheer energy White exudes could carry the album on its own, but he finds himself accompanied by the virtuosic guitarist Harry Rivers to create an unmatched leading ensemble. From the picking on “Silhouette” to the blistering solos that find their way onto just about every track throughout the album, Rivers proves to be a master of atmospheric delights and unparalleled versatility with the star-studded showmanship that overflows from “Streets of Misery.”Giving the strings a more earthly foundation is a healthy appreciation for bass, showcased best in the bass line that opens “Farewell to Yesterday,” but also demonstrated in the crucial moments of “Criminal Masterminds” that leads into one of the album’s most memorable guitar solos.This attention to detail and composition is evident throughout “Ignite the Sky,” leading to delightful layers that give listeners so much more than simple melodies to devour.Providing a perfect background track for the final moments of a long night out is the sensitive tones of “Silhouette,” painting an image of dissociative contemplation in the absolute stillness of one finding themselves overwhelmingly alone. Deep notes from a cello draw out a rich heartiness from Rivers’ guitar not found anywhere else on the album, and Bloody Heels use “Silhouette” as a slow and seductive exploration of human emotion.Then “Healing Water” strikes directly to the listener’s soul with a dazzling saxophone passage that elevates the album to an exploration of exhilaration in its purest form.For all of their impressive showmanship and electric aggression, Bloody Heels also show themselves to be unafraid of a more sensitive examination of humanity’s shadows with a subtle grittiness that persists across the album.Capturing life at its brightest and most brilliant in blinding color, “Ignite the Sky” is teeming with irresistible hooks, dynamic melodies, and choruses so infectious that it’s impossible not to put the album on repeat.Every moment of the album is a microcosm of life lived to its fullest, and is clearly the product of talented musicians that have put all of themselves and their abilities into an ambitious project.There is no question that “Ignite the Sky” will be one of the highlight albums for a scorching hot summer, one which invokes a joy for the present and a sweet taste for nostalgia in the same breath.Full of anthems that embody the best of 80s rock with a high-quality modern production that gives them a timeless appeal, Bloody Heels have outdone themselves in an electrifying sophomore album that promises arena-rocking vigor for years to come.

Bloody Heels - Rotten Romance (2022)

Bio:

Album:

“Rotten Romance”, their third album overall, follows their Frontiers debut, "Ignite The Sky" (2020). While the band still shows nods to the great ‘80s hard rock scene in their sound, the new album presents a stylistic leap from the band that is delightfully unexpected and welcome. Not content to be stagnant in their musical approach, Bloody Heels have pushed their sound forward, proving that innovation within the confines of a genre is always possible when the will to push through barriers exists."Rotten Romance" will certainly please fans of the band's previous work, where strains of classic '80s hard rock were mixed with elements of heavy metal (and that is still very much the case here), but touches of progressive rock, gothic metal, and more modern rock are now identifiable in the mix and with spectacular results. Vocalist Vicky White's whisky-soaked sounding throat is in fine form here, while guitarist Harry Rivers, bassist Gunn Everett, and drummer Gus Hawk already superb playing has jumped up multiple levels. Intense, driving parts mix with atmospheric, sometimes dark breakdowns, giving the album's rhythm an enjoyable variety that works seamlessly.
