He has such a distinctive husky voice and many will recognise as the lead vocalist and keyboards player for “Last Autumns Dream”. Any fan of LAD will love Salute, simple because Mikael is the singer, but this band should be respected on its own merits as they are a breed apart when it comes to fantastic melodic rock. Many will already know that Martin Kronlund is a world class producer and guitar player and his work shows on this outstanding CD. Powerful harmonies, crunching guitars and beautiful keyboards are the order of the day. Imre Daun (Don Patrol, Gypsy Rose) is still on the drum stool and he plays his heart out. The addition of special guest Henrik Thomsen on Bass from the band Hope is a great touch and his contribution is excellent. David Reece (Bangalore Choir, Sircle of Silence) also helps out with backing vocals. With tracks like “Higher” boasting an amazing guitar solo and “The Long Haul” Salute are onto a clear winner, the balance is just perfect. The stand out ballad “Feed Your Hunger” is stunning, Mikael’s haunting vocals are in a class of their own here. Salute excel in catchy choruses and effortless melodies, the songs just seem to flow as if it is no boundaries for them; a true sign of professionalism! “Your Servant Tonight ” is a song that could gain commercial success as it is just so well crafted with that endearing guitar chord infused into the chorus. Mikael is so good at bringing out the best in a song…”Tearing Me Down” is proof of that. The whole CD just smacks of class rock and is possibly the finest recording you will hear this year. Martin Kronlund’s professional touch in the production department is just fantastic and makes this a “must have” CD....Salute are a band to watch out for, there is no doubt about that! |
