Dee Snider's new album

Despite the fact that in many sources the official release date of Dee Snider's new album is indicated on July 27 (that is, today), he was freely available for downloading and listening for a couple of days before. Thanks to the pirates, of course.

Who is not in the course, Dee Snider is a former vocalist of the mega-popular in the olden days glam metal band Twisted Sister. Musicians have not played for two years, the last album the fans heard back in 2006. But Snyder is full of strength and is not ready to leave the big stage.

The Dee Snider project is distinguished by heavier music, in each album the vocalist tries to please with novelties and experiments. As for me the new studio "For The Love Of Metal" turned out to be quite melodic and drive, and Snyder's voice did not lose its charm.

This time the album was released under the Napalm label, which already speaks about the severity of the material. A highlight for modern connoisseurs of hard-n-heavy was the guest participation of several musicians from popular rock bands of our time. In particular, the recording of the song "The Hardest Way" was attended by Howard Jones from Devil You Know, better known as ex-vocalist of metalcore band Killswitch Engage. Unfortunately, Jones did not live up to my expectations, and his small parts in the song are not impressive at all.

For that in "Dead Hearts" the listeners are waited by a pleasant surprise - a clean-vocal from Alissa White-Gluz who singing now in the Swedish melodic death metal band Arch Enemy. I really liked the song. Heavy, slow with a beautiful solo.

Most of all I liked the song "Tomorrow's No Concern", which previously came out as a single. Drive, energy, brutal reefs - this is great.

In general, the album turned out good and quality. Fans Twisted Sister may not like it, but for those who are not a fan of the team, can and will be to taste. I liked more than half of the material.
