Hiya!

-We just received word that CAROLINE BLUE's CD "Not For The Innocent"
has just been reviewed on the SacredMetal.de website
http://www.sacredmetal.de/index.php?
page=reviews/eigen/carolineblue2008

-This is based in Germany and the review itself is in German. However
thanks to Neferblue , we got a word for word translation from Horatio
C. Luvcraft. Thanks to you both for your help-it's much appreciated!
And now, here's the review!


Caroline Blue: Not For The Innocent


Classy hard rock on the border to powerful melodic metal (or
something like that...) is what you will find on the second release
of CAROLINE BLUE "Not Fot The Innocent" (the previous release was an
EP called "Slave to the Hourglass"). Two things are common to be
found in the three to four minutes long songs: A hooking riff that is
strummed more or less, and the tasteful and good vocals of mastermind
Wayne W. Johnson which cummulate in straight forward chorusses. These
chorusses let you sing along first time around and make you raise
your fist and shout. Sometimes I feel reminded of the similar
sounding Moore, who also recently released a very convincing
album "Bleed".

Songs like the hard rocking twins "Our Love is Wasted" and "Love Me
or Leave Me..." or the ballad "Stay" are stereotype "Hard Rockers"
(by the way: Please don't do that thing with the distorted vocals
on "Out Of My Life (I Want You)..." again, okay?) - But there surely
are enough rockers out there that demand songs exactely like that.
Somehow CAROLINE BLUE are a car driving band. They make you wanna
roll down your windows and show the world what hard rock sounds like
in 2008.

Unfortunatly this release is just a printed CD-R, but it comes with a
booklet (containing all the lyrics) and a printed back cover.
Get in touch with this band and ask for the price. This is something
hard rockers should definately give a try.

Caroline Blue: Not For The Innocent

Gutklassigen Hard Rock an der Grenze zum powervollen Melodic Metal
(oder so...) bieten Caroline Blue auf ihrem Zweitling "Not For The
Innocent" (zuvor veröffentlichte man eine EP namens "Slave To The
Hourglass"). Bei den grundsätzlich zwischen drei und vier Minuten ins
Ziel laufenden Songs stehen zwei Dinge im Vordergrund: Ein mal mehr,
mal weniger durchschlagendes Riff, welches sich durch den Song zieht
sowie die vom guten Gesang des Masterminds Wayne W. Johnson
getragenen Melodien, die oft in einen eingängigen Refrains münden,
den man bereits beim ersten Mal mit hoch gereckter Faust mitbrüllen
könnte. Ab und an erinnert man an die stilistisch ähnlich gelagerten
Moore, die auf ihrem letzten Werk "Bleed" ebenfalls meist überzeugen
konnten.

Songs wie der hardrockende Doppelschlag "Our Love Is Wasted"
und "Love Me Or Leave Me" oder die Ballade "Stay" sind
selbstverständlich klischeegetränkte Hard Rocker (das mit den
verzerrten Vocals in "Out Of My Life" macht ihr aber bitte nicht
nochmal, okay?) - aber es gibt ja immer noch genügend Rocker dort
draußen, die es genauso haben wollen. Caroline Blue sind irgendwie
eine Autofahrband - man möchte sein Fenster herunterkurbeln und der
Welt dort draußen zeigen, wie Hard Rock 2008 klingen kann

Leider handelt es sich bei dieser VÖ "nur" um eine bedruckte CDR, die
jedoch mit Booklet (inkl. allen Texten) und (gedrucktem) Backcover
ausgestattet ist. Meldet euch bei der Band und fragt nach dem Preis -
Hard Rocker dürfen hier gerne mal reinhören!
