For fans of Van Halen, Dio, Deep Purple.
After their previous release “The Sky is the Limit”, Norwegian band STARGAZER
entered the radar of connoisseurs of the hard rocking world. The group
was loudly hailed as one to watch. They received a lot of great reviews
all over the western world and were, back then in late 2019, ready to
take on the world for serious touring. But serious touring saw an abrupt
end due to Covid-19 for almost every band in 2020-21, with Stargazer
being no exception.
The nordic five-piece didn’t lose their
spirit and, diligently, took the downtime to start penning their next
album. Produced by guitar player William Ernstsen and vocalist Tore
André Helgemo, “Life Will Never Be The Same” is the result of those dark
times with a silver lining ahead. Engineered by William at
Jedimasterstudios, Trondheim, and mixed and mastered in Medley Studios,
Copenhagen, by Soren Andersen (Glenn Hughes, Electric Guitars, etc),
“Life Will Never Be The Same” is exactly the kind of album that you’d
expect from a matured Stargazer and then some.
The five-piece
powerhouse hammers on with Scandinavian vibes that consists of
virtuosity and a vintage sound with a modern twist. Firing on all
cylinders in combination with the sense of good melodies, great riffs,
solos and songwriting handcraft. With one of rock’s best voices and one
of the best blues-based hard rock guitar players around today. All this
on top of a rock steady hard groove with killer rock songs such as “Live
My Dream”, or down to the most tender and heartfelt tunes, as for
example the single “Live Today”, with emotions worn on their sleeves.
“Life
Will Never Be The Same” is the sound of Norwegian classic hard rock
flagship, and Stargazer sets sail again with this third release in their
discography. One to change their life - and yours - for good.
“Life
Will Never Be The Same” is out today on digital, digipack CD and
gatefold double LP (black vinyl, limited to 500 units) via Mighty Music.
