Our Take

Shining Black's latest offering, "Postcards From The End Of The World," is a rollercoaster ride through the realms of power metal and hard rock. Fronted by the powerhouse duo of Boals and Thorsen, this album is a sonic blast from start to finish.

From the opening track "My Life," the listener is immediately hit with a wave of soaring vocals and blistering guitar solos. Boals' vocal range is on full display here, effortlessly hitting high notes that would make even the most seasoned rockers green with envy. Thorsen's guitar work is equally impressive, with riffs that are so catchy they'll be stuck in your head for days.

Tracks like "The Darkest Room" and "Lightbringer" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend heavy riffs with melodic hooks, creating an infectious sound that is sure to get fans headbanging along. And just when you think you've heard it all, the album takes a surprising turn with the haunting ballad "Stars Are Falling."

Overall, "Postcards From The End Of The World" is a must-listen for any fan of power metal or hard rock. Shining Black has crafted an album that is both intense and melodic, with enough energy to power a small country. So grab your air guitar and get ready to rock out, because Shining Black are here to show the world how it's done.
