Bio:
Twins Crew was founded 2007 by the Twins Dennis and David Janglöv after they graduated with honors from the World famous GIT ( Gutiar institute of Technoligy) in Hollywood, USA.The band started with 5 people in the line up. Andreas Larsson on vocals, Fredrik Hammar on bass, Uno Eriksson on drums and Dennis and David Janglöv on guitar. Twins Crew consist of 6 members today, Nicko Dimarino joined the band on keyboard in 2013.The goal was to start a band which would have all the classic Heavy Metal elements from band such as Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Helloween, Stratovarious and show the true face of the Heavy/ Power Metal genre.Two EPs was recorded during 2008 ( Twins Crew) to 2009 ( Twin demon) but it wasn't until we released our first full album we found our true sound.The Recording of our first album "Judgement Night" took place in July 2010 in Deep Blue studio Nyköping, Sweden. The album was recorded during a of four weeks period and engineered by Nicko DiMarino who also recorded with band such as Steelwing and Malison Rogue.The album’s artwork is designed by Carl-André Beckston at Beckston Media Arts (EDGUY, House of Lords, TNT) and mastered by Mike Lind at Masterplant (Body Count, DIO, The Poodles).Judgement Night received great reviews worldwide and was picked “album of the month” by several webzines and magazines.Twins Crew made our first tour outside Sweden in 2009 in Germany and Austria. The tour was successful and they made a lot of new fans in the area. The Band has also supported the Japanese band Loudness, MILLION, Paul Dianno and was invited to play the largest indoor Heavy Metal festival in Sweden, House of Metal in 2011.In November 2012 we went into the studio to start recording our 2nd album "The Northern crusade".This album was also recorded in Deep Blue studios and the same people was involved in the making as the previous album.Nicko Dimarino who previously have played with bands such as Sabaton etc joined the band shortly after the recording session was done. Nicko has been involved with the band from the start since he made all the keyboard parts on all of our albums so it was a natural step for the band.Twins Crew signed a record deal with the Italian record label "Scarlet Records" in the beginning of 2013 for the release of their second album. The release of the album is set to July 31..Twins Crew believes that the New Testament in the book of heavy metal is yet to be written and we would be loud and proud to be a part of it.
Album:
This is something you don't hear much these days, except maybe from the latest washed-up old band trying to revitalize their glory days – but this sounds actually legit and energized. It's old school, speedy, cheesy 90s power metal that sounds like a triage between 80s Helloween, Nocturnal Rites, Hammerfall and even a bit of old Maiden. The guitars are crisp and galloping and the riffs are light-weight but killer – they go between a Helloweenish melodic trilling sound and a more anthemic pounding kind of riff. The rhythm section is quite good too and the bass and drums sound like they just came off a freshly charged battery dock. Vocals are a high, charismatic sneer that reminds me of really old school power metal like Cryonic Temple's good albums – not the most pro-sounding, sure; but fucking enthusiastic and bad-ass as hell.The band doesn't really have a huge sense of drama or patience yet – all these songs tend to get to the chorus rather quick and the songwriting is a bit too formulaic and generic to really hit 'great.' It isn't really the work of a mature band. However, that's also a part of why it's so good – it's that youthful verve and charismatic energy, and the guys just exude that classic grit that all young bands have...lots of strut and style. On tracks like opener “Last Crusader,” the high-speed workout of “Blade,” the catchy as fuck “Dr. Dream” and album standout “Kings of Yesterday,” Twins Crew hit the mark dead-on.If they had a better name – Twins Crew literally just refers to the fact that a pair of twins started the band – these guys could probably go far. But this is a perfectly fine, fun album of old school power metal. The band knows their influences and different songs sound like different bands – here's a Helloween chorus; there's a Hammerfall stomping bridge section, and so on. Even the ballad is pretty good, and that didn't always used to happen with these sorts of bands. Point is, these guys know their infleunces, are mining them well and have created an enjoyable work of metal. I look forward to hearing how they mature in the future.
