If you are only 31 years of age and you are already so well-known as Dino Jelusick is, you know you are doing something right. He currently has his own band, after working with bands like TSO, WHITESNAKE, DIRTY SHIRLEY and THE DEAD DAISIES. Together with Keller and Mario, he is touring with the MARCO MENDOZA TRIO for over a year now and killer bass player Luka, unravels some more of what's to come for you later this year! Together with the first 2 singles "Healer" and "Reign Of Vultures", "Fly High Again" clearly shows that there will be quite some variety and versatility on JELUSICK's debut album, "Follow The Blindman". Dino's statement on "Fly High Again": it is a song which represents the dark against the light. Every dark comes to light but with darker you experience; you know how to handle it and get to light without completely losing your mind.
"Fly High Again" is written and produced by Dino Jelusick, and if he has this kind of vision at this early age, I can only be in awe of his visions. What he says himself does make sense. He is able to combine the feeling of old-fashioned Melodic Rock with the very Heavy Metal sounds of current bands, making it sound as heavy as SLIPKNOT as some moments, which explains the juxtaposition between light and dark. He is able to give them both the space they need, wrapped in a very beautiful piece of music.
After listening to the other two songs as well, I can honestly say that the JELUSICK album "Follow The Blindman" is just about topping my list of must haves. Because I can't even fathom the thought that it will disappoint. Even if the rest of the songs is half as good as "Fly High Again" it can only become one hell of a debut album to look forward to. That, my friends, is also the only reason I am not giving maximum points. That would not be fair, as it is only based on "Fly High Again". I need, want and have to hear more. Consider me hooked. Yes, only after one song (okay, three in total).
