JOEY SUMMER - Written On The Horizon (2010)
With "Written On The Horizon" the brazilian Melodic Rocker JOEY SUMMER presents his first album with all english lyrics to a worldwide audience.
Initial aid came from internationally renowed musicians & songwriters, who contibuted to the recordings in addition to the experienced brazillian line-up of Daniel Lamas (keyboards). Markcell (bass) and Renan Martins (drums).
The guest list includes JADED HEART bass player Michael Muller performing on "Anymore", a track penned by Michael Bormann.
Together with brazilian bassist Julio Cezar (Cathedral), the swedes Goran Edman (Street Talk, Malmsteen, Glory) and Fredrik Bergh (Street Talk, Bloodbound), can be heard on their Street Talk song "Don't Believe".
The duo has also provided another track; "Tables Turning", which is recorded here in Joey's own more rocking version.
"Rough Ride To Paradise" was written by ex-Europe guitarist Kee Marcello and it nicely rounds the album.
Joey's own songwriting skills are on a very high international level as well, as you can witness on his always catchy and arena rock ready tracks like the bombastic hard rockin' opener "Rise Up", the anthemic "Written On The Horizon", and the extremely catchy "Lorea".
"Beating" and "Brand New Day" are two more midtempo rockers celebrating the classic AOR style of the '80s.
The quieter moments are covered by the power ballads "It's Only Your Love" and "I'll Never Be Alone Again"
Solid album with excellent songwriting and correct production.
