Mob Rules (metal mélodique, Allemagne)

Dernier message de la page précédente :

C'est pas révolutionnaire mais c'est tout de même fort plaisant grâce à une mélodie qui vise juste et un titre parfaitement exécuté.

Sortie d´une compilation pour les 30 ans du groupe.
Extrait de bandcamp:

"Northern German melodic power metallers Mob Rules are celebrating their 30th anniversary. Time to let it rip! With "Celebration Day - 30 Years Of Mob Rules", the band around singer Klaus Dirks releases a compilation that could hardly have become more extensive and of higher quality. With over 150 minutes of playing time, the capacity of the medium is stretched to the limit with 30 hand-picked songs, including not only obvious band classics such as "Black Rain", "Hollowed Be Thy Name" and "Rain Song", but also songs that have previously been less in the spotlight.

Ils avaient déjà sorti un coffret "anniversaire" similaire dans le concept mais pas dans la tracklist pour leurs 20 ans en 2014, j'en déduis qu'ils vont le faire tous les 10 ans.

Sortie fin août.

North German power metallers, Mob Rules, have unveiled the first details about new album Rise Of The Ruler, slated for a release on August 22 via ROAR!

The follow-up to 2018’s Beast Reborn (which reached #37 in the German and #59 in the Swiss album charts) is not only a work brimming with creativity, wit and quality, but also the conceptual continuation of their two early albums Savage Land (1999) and Temple Of Two Suns (2000), with which Mob Rules laid the foundation for their career. Both albums are linked by an exciting concept story about life in a dystopian, hostile end-time world in which resources are becoming scarce. This is exactly where the band’s new offering Rise Of The Ruler comes in and keyboardist Jan Christian Halfbrodt (who is responsible for all the lyrics) continues the thread.

In addition to the eleven-track standard album (available as CD digipak and colored vinyl), Mob Rules have also been working on a very special fan item over the last few months: The limited earbook edition of Rise Of The Ruler comes with an exclusive bonus CD containing five additional, brand new songs, as well as a spoken version of the concept story, an alternative version of “Dawn Of Second Sun” and the two video clips for “Back To Savage Land” and “Dawn Of Second Sun”. The large-format, hardcover book-style 48-page earbook extensively documents the creation of the album, video shoot, photo shoot and provides insights into the concept story.

The album pre-sale for Rise Of The Ruler can be found here.

A music video for the first album single, “Back To Savage Land”, is now premiering below. “Back To Savage Land” is programmatic in this context. The band around singer Klaus Dirks has succeeded in creating a true power metal anthem that will take the hearts of metal fans by storm with its speed, strong melodies, healthy heaviness and catchiness. The first taste of Rise Of The Ruler perfectly sums up the band’s strengths in its compactness. In collaboration with director Rainer Fränzen (Orden Ogan, Grave Digger, among others), the most extensive video concept in the band’s history was created. Stream the track here, and watch the video below.

“Conceptually, ‘Back To Savage Land’ follows on from our first two albums and continues the concept story,“ vocalist Klaus Dirks comments. “Here, a group sets off for their old, abandoned homeland, the “Savage Land”, and this arduous journey awakens memories for them. The journey is fraught with danger, but there seems to be no alternative, creating a “do-or-die” atmosphere. Detached from the concept story, “Back To Savage Land” also has a simple message: “It is a call for courage and perseverance, to focus on the goal and not let the imponderables and setbacks get you down.”

Once again Rise Of The Ruler was mixed and mastered by the experienced hands of Markus Teske (Vanden Plas, The New Roses etc.). After “My Sobriety Mind” (from the Beast Reborn album), Mob Rules also collaborated again with singer Ulli Perhonen (Snow White Blood), which is reflected in the beautiful duet of the song “On The Trail”.

The visual design was created by French cover artist Stan W. Decker (Masterplan, Primal Fear etc.), who perfectly staged the post-apocalyptic scenery of Rise Of The Ruler.

Pas mal ce titre (on ne parlera pas du clip cliché) J'ai toujours bien aimé ce groupe.
Cela faisait un bail qu'ils n'avaient pas sortis d'album (7 ans) même s'ils avaient publiés plusieurs singles ces dernières années.
Ils avaient pourtant un bon rythme avant : 10 albums entre 1999 et 2018, soit un album tous les deux ans!
