Thought I'd let you know about a new band I've seen a couple of times and heard on ArFM - Angel House. I last saw them supporting Blue Oyster Cult and thought they were excellent. Proper old school 80's heavy metal with a great singer. I bought their album World on Fire and superb it is too - out of the ten tracks, 8 are really great. They only let themselves down on the 2 ballads, but thats just my opinion - I like the rockier stuff better. Mask and the title track are 2 songs that would not be out of place on an album by a much bigger band, as they are both absolute belters. Check them out for yourseleves, but I think they are one of the best new rock bands I have seen in years. www.myspace.com/angelhouserockTheres even a free download on there. Cheers. |

I believe Angel House have been added to the Rock of Ages festival line up on the same day as Burn.....

Indeed they have Woody - how did you find out so fast?
They are playing the Saturday. Having seen them live 2 things spring to mind -
1. They are the ideal band to open up the festival and will really go for it.
2. I wouldn't want to be in the band that has to follow them!
If anybody out there is going to Rock of Ages, get there early, don't miss Angel House.

I liked 'World On Fire' it had a bit of a Budgie feel guitar-wise.  |

Funny you should say that boatman, cos they occasionally play In For The Kill live! I had heard they throw in the odd cover, they would certainly be good at the Budgie stuff! I was slso reminded of those great Budgie-styled power-riffs not only on the title track but on Knowledge and Victim #13 which also had a hint of Sabbath. Weapons For Self-Expression starts like a nice acoustic-ballad before rocking off and sounded like there was some Hammond really low in the mix? Revolution had hints at Queensryche too! Not a bad start for a debut, they could really take off especially if they continue to explore and expand their guitar sound, maybe get some more effect pedals or a guitar synth. |
