Witness
Scarlet Records
Release: 16 September 2016

Next release from Scarlet recordsFake Idols.

What caught my attention most of all? Of course this statement on press-release – “Featuring a very special guest appearance by MOTÖRHEAD legend PHIL CAMPBELL“! Of course I started to listen to Witness from this song (Mad Fall). Was I impressed? I dunno, hard to say, maybe no, because of entire modern sound over there.

Fake Idols was formed by ex members of Raintime and Slowmotion Apocalypse, to be honest – I have never heard any of those.

Witness is eleven tracks album. Musically here is some mixture between hard rock and heavy metal. Made without old-school feelings unfortunately, but, listenable from time to time. The songs structure comes with good ideas, with shredding quitars and good guitar solos, but again – those modern tunes killing all the positive thoughts I could get…

So, Witness is mostly for those who like some modern sounds, but not for those into real metal massacre or real rock alcofun, and, unfortunately not for me.

I do not recommend this stuff for fans from all around, but only for those who have heard some stuff from Fake Idols before.

Cheers from France! / Rob

About the author

All that stuff about heavy metal and hard rock, I don't subscribe to any of that. It's all just music. I mean, the heavy metal from the Seventies sounds nothing like the stuff from the Eighties, and that sounds nothing like the stuff from the Nineties. Who's to say what is and isn't a certain type of music?
