Free Music Notes for Love's Dying Wish
Free Music Review: Heavy-Melodic-Dark & Romantic is the second collaboration of Tony Harnell and Magnus Karlsson
Hit: 5 Stars
Released in 2008, "Love's Dying wish" is the second album by melodic metal project band "Starbreaker". The name stands as the musical union of Swedish songwriter/guitarist extraordinaire Magnus Karlsson and American vocal icon Tony Harnell. The line up is completed by John Macaluso on drums and Jonni Lightfoot on bass.
Those familiar with the two key figures of "Starbreaker" would recognize Harnell for his contribution in melodic rock and glam metal while Karlsson would probably stand for melodic metal. Subsequently it would be fair to assume that "The end of alone" is a mixture of the two musician's influences and musical backgrounds. That is very true yet the character of this album is set to take the listener into rather unexpected metal territory.
Specifically "...Wish" is a dark, as you would never expect, metal album; not in the traditional sense of being `evil'- rather generating a dark romantic atmosphere, as the title very much suggests. The riffs are thick, followed by walls of rhythm guitar while the lead melodies sound rather sad-still undeniably infectious. The contribution of drummer extraordinaire Macaluso, is also very significant as he comes up with really unconventional drum patterns and sounds, while his performance is consistently powerful. It is fair to say that the album has its fair share of faster moments, but that does not alter the fact that it is a rather pessimistic lyrical concept; at this point Harnell's vocal performance adds that very romantic tone that, believe it or not, matches perfectly the lack of optimism subsequently making "Love's dying wish" an album of unique character that captures the listener from the first to the last note.
While one does not need more than one play to come to terms with the album, its dark/romantic nature is a guarantee that the listener will be drawn to "Love's dying wish" time and time again. Overall an unexpected musical direction by the highly acclaimed melodic metal outfit that still sounds substantial and fresh. All credit due to Harnell and Karlsson for pushing the boundaries of their songwriting and performance.
