KILLER BEE - From Hell And Back (2012)

*

Swedish / Canadian band KILLER BEE rocked the nineties with a bunch of good hard rockin' albums before disbanded almost 15 years ago.
They had reunited last year, released a greatest hits compilation, and now got ready “From Hell and Back”, a new CD of original material which was sure to bring their Scandinavian  Hard Rock staple back into the forefront.

Killer Bee takes a step back in time and make an honest effort to soak the late '80s / early '90s with a grown up sound but still hard coating their imprint that made them a commodity early in their career.
Many bands now have jumped on this sound wagon and finally people are taking notice of their quality - most notably Treat who delivered a superb record last year with serious implications.
Well, Killer Bee took some notes and decided to deliver a crushing record as well after a long time hiatus and original members Anders LA Ronnblom and Brian Bee Frank are back holding the foundation of the band tight as ever.
They are joined by Canadians Denny DeMarchi (8previously known for his work with Alias / Sherriff) and Morgan Evans from Lee Aaron's band on board in this new reincarnation of the Bee's.

“From Hell and Back” is an appropriate record name for the guys' return, as they unleashed some serious neck breaking vibes with some of the tunes on here including the title track which feasts on its speedy up tempo rip.
Later it follows with ”Drive Me Crazy” which carries another tight groove. The melancholy opening lick in “Heat of the Night” leads way to a powerful chorus that carries the invigorating energy that fluctuates throughout the record.
The guys get a touchy feely and put the E in Emotion with the ballad “I Believe” a nice piano lead number with rising vocals courtesy of front man Brian Bee Frank.
The rebel yells of “Leave Me Alone” bring attitude back into the forefront as the screams and yells of Frank once again make a devout stance.
But the fun doesn’t end just yet as the tight courtship brings super power keyboards and groove once more onto the fray of this early '70s Hard Rock-esque crusher of “Rock Another Day”, is as if these dudes we’re just waiting to wake up the giant and make your ears satisfy with melodic heavenly.

“From Hell and Back” is acomplete ripper of a record with top to bottom blazing tunes that will power your player and make you jibe with with feel and rock steady feeling.
The Killer Bee pack return to fine shape after years of dormant behavior to raise you fist and kick your face in with killer grooves and arena rock anthems.
Every track on the CD bring offer something that will make you 'rock out', big ups goes to the two original members as vocal duties are handled with as much emotion by Frank as the guitar attack by Anders LA Ronnblom and company. Production could be better, anyway, overall there is nothing bad I can say about this record as it delivers on any expectation, and for fans of the band this a must buy.
For people who may not heard Killler Bee before, “From Hell and Back” would make a perfect sampler and introductory course into the Killer Bee attack.
Very Good.
