The Game of Fate
Pop Javali

And the Brazilian lands have some good Hard Rock bands, of course!
One of the most promising names actually is the power trio POP JAVALI, from Americana (São Paulo) that comes now with their second album, "The Game of Fate".
Their music is a classic 70's Hard Rock with Progressive Rock influences, but sounding in a modern and heavier way, with very good vocals, great guitar work (both riffs and solos are excellent), and great bass and drums works (heavy and technical at the same time). A furious and vigorous music, pulsing with energy and elegance.
The sound production is on an excellent level, and the musical work of the trio sounds heavy and clearly on both ways, having quality, but it's not surprise for us when we see the names of the Busic brothers Andria and Ivan, from DR. SIN. And the artwork, made by Ricardo Rossi is wonderful.
Great musical arrangements, good doses of melody, so when you hear songs like "The Game of Fate", the lovely "Lie to Me" (great riffs and solos), the catchy and elegant "Healing no More" (what wonderful vocals and drums), "Road to Nowhere" and "I Wanna Choose", you'll scream, shout and jump on the floor with no mercy from anyone.
A physical copy of this work is needed for everyone who hear this album!
