M.W. Wild – The Third Decade

[schema type=”review” name=”M.W. Wild – The Third Decade” description=”Label: Echozone” author=”Sabine van Gameren” pubdate=”2017-04-28″ ]Mr Wild we know from the band The Cascades, which released four albums. Anno 2017 it is time for him to return with a solo album. It is called “The Third Decade” and is available now.

Must be said, mr Wild knows quality. We are positively surprised right when we start this release and that feeling is something that returned often at this release. Gothic Rock could be all full of clichés but in this release you see that although they aren’t feared, they are transformed to something that brings a bit uniqueness to it. Songs like “Writing On The Wall” have something recognizable. A melody that falls fine within the spectra that’s offered and then a smoke of darkness completes it. Yet when diving further in the tracklist you see something a bit different with “Exit To Grey” which seems a bit more sinister overall.
Often the guitars are there making a difference, but the combination with the dark voice is certainly something that will attract a lot of listeners.

The diversity is well presented, it gives you a variance of songs that have a red thread there and step away a bit of all you hear too often already. “The Third Decade” is a fine release from mr Wild. Refreshing, we expect to listen this one quite a bit!
