HUMANIMAL (J.S. Soto) - Humanimal +1 [remaster] (2012)

*

HUMANIMAL was formed at begininnig of the new millenium by Sweden's six-string virtuoso Pontus Norgren (Great King Rat, Talisman, The Poodles) together with his ex- bandmate in Talisman Marcel Jacob and drummer Thomas Broman (John Norum, Brazen Abbot, Glenn Hughes Band).
For the vocalist position they called no other than Jeff Scott Soto, who agreed to once again join Pontus and Marcel, who as a trio made up three quarters of the much appreciated Talisman.

Coincidences do not end there, as the band's name was taken from one of Talisman's albums, even more, they decided to name their 2002's debut "Humanimal" as well.
"R U 4 Real" is the opening track and the best way to introduce Humanimal's style: fast guitars, soaring vocals and great rhythm.
"Again 2 B Found" follows with a killer chorus, screaming riffs and an amazingly strong bass playing that makes your heart beat the same way. One of the best tracks on an album plenty of them.
The Hard Rock hurricane continues with "License 2 Kill" with vocals moving on various harmony trails, great energy and a juicy guitar solo filled with such emotion that Mr. Malmsteen would have really been jealous of.

"Find My Way Home" moves in slower paths (just slower, not slow) than the previous songs, where the rhythm section specially shine. With "Feel The Burn" the band rocks hard once again.
In "Road 2 4giveness" Jeff Scott Soto shows all his greatness, followed by the melodic "I" which delivers rich guitar passages.
With "Turn Away" the band explores some heavy funk rhythms, a territory already visited by Talisman in the past. "Who Do U Think U R" sports a catchy chorus, clever lyrics and a sensual beat. The album ends with "Way 2 Deep" in a pure Scandi Melodic Hard Rock fashion.


Out of print for many years, "Humanimal" is now being reissued; remastered, repackaged and with the excellent bonus track "Love's The Dominion" added.
This album is terrific from start to finish, no fillers, just killers. Trust me.
100% Swedish Melodic Hard Rock of the first degree.
Get it pronto: Limited Edition.
