Metal maniacs, rejoice! I'm proud to present to you: DOGFACE; signed via Melodic Rock Records, hailing from Swedish grounds - performing Melodic Hard Rock/Heavy Metal, on their 3rd album entitled: "Releashed" (released on January 22nd, 2018).

Since formation in 2002; the quintet in question have 3 albums in their discography thus far, I'm introduced to their 3rd deliverance: "Releashed". 11 tracks ranging at around 46:42; this 5 piece quartet provide an intricately designed formula of heavy-hitting Rock/Metal arrangements, amalgamated with a unique melodic development for good measure. "Right Between Your Lies" begins the album, distinguished with a solid slab of progressively technical instrumentation and musicianship. DOGFACE incorporate a fluid balance of constructive characteristics that contribute elegant composing adroitness and diligence, in which demonstrates a consistently rhythmic distinction - capturing a bouncy groove of electrical finesse.

Consisting of Mats Levén on vocals; the man distributes a complexly exquisite range of clean expertise, juxtaposed with a hint of roughness in the process. "Don't" is a typical rock song, only it establishes the diverse variety the band has created in a more classy fashion. Martin Kronlund on guitar showcases captivating melodies that has an organic aesthetic of enlightening riffs and solos that scream a thunderous execution all round; "I Don't Care" elements the bluesy component which implements the band's creativity, while battering with dexterity and fulfilling orchestration that relentlessly motivates me considerably. Mikael Carlsson on the pummeling bass guitar is efficiently audible, in "I Will Be There" – a lot of talented proficiencies abound here, attributing with a lot of crunchy stability and concrete harmonies. Perra Johansson on drums thumps his mettle with powerful flair in the song "A Single Reason", offering a liquid substance which flows with unprecedented inventiveness.

The band flourish with an enjoyably entertaining experience, as "Rule The Night" embellishes more of those razor-sharp vocalizations and domination of musical prowess. "You're Taken Down With Me" contrasts with more quirky significance, stylishly representing polished songwriting & sound production expertise. "Let It Out", "Spit It Out" & "Set Me Free" advance with revolutionary tactics that assault in a dynamically frenzied barrage of epic craftsmanship. Overall concluding the record with "Suicide"; "A Little Ain't Enough" & "Pray For Me", I am compelled to say that DOGFACE certainly excelled themselves with this one - an unparalleled discovery that definitely deserves credit.
