After OLIVER WEERS' "Evils Back" & SHOTGUN REVOLUTION's "Join The Revolution" last year, BULLET TRAIN BLAST's "Nothing Remains" in January and before MALRUN's "The Empty Frame" in April, Mystic Music & Target Records from Denmark bring us another offshoot of this spontaneous generation, a new Rockin' breed that mix Melodic Metalcore with Post-Grunge Hard Rock and even Heavy AOR  (New Wave Scandi Melodic Modern Metal?)

Another band that seems to fit this definition is Swedish CERVELLO and their great and very very recommended self titled album or Norwegian TEODORTUFF "Soliloquy"...Concerning SAINT REBEL: here we have a very energetic bunch of Musicians raised by 90s Metal sound (METALLICA / ALICE IN CHAINS) but with some Influences coming from contemporary American scene (3 DOORS DOWN / ALTER BRIDGE) but also some hints more rooted in the 70s Euro Hard Rock...And the typical "Melodic-Efficiency Science" provided in trueScandinavian style...A good recipe.

The best argument I can develop now is their great ability to vary and combine the pleasures from scorched and crunchy verses, to sing along chorus...A good contrasted songwriting...Like a sweet and sour sauce. Another good point is the spicy, powerful & versatile voice of Jonas Kaas...This is the pillar of the band to keep the balance...Even if the players are quite good, the vocal performance is by far the most prominent...The production is more than perfect and the mix-job, done by Jacob Hansen is as always stupendous and tasteful...In a word, if your Rock world needs to be fed by a new meal...The Dansk Kokken seems to be the right one !
