I didn’t realize Jaded Heart had released so many albums. As of the release of this record in 2022, they have put out 17 albums. One of which is a compilation and another is a live album. To make it worse, this is the only one I have on vinyl. Which is surprising because they are one big riff fest which is at the top of my list of favourite things.

Right from the get go with Blood Red Skies, this album riffs and grooves hard. Great track with an added bonus of a great hook and chorus. Sweet Sensation and Heart Attack follow and both equally deliver the goods with killer riffs. It’s favourite tune time with the deliciously simple but very effective heavy chug of Harvester Unknown. Side 1 closes out with the double kick onslaught of Lady Spider. That’s one hell of a side of tunage.

Descent kicks off Side 2 in an equally impressive manor with another fat chugga riff and great hook and chorus. Remnants Of Desire thinks it’s a power ballad until the heaviness takes over. It’s About Time is a pretty straight forward hard rock tune with some killer playing. The whole thing comes to a close with Midnight Stalker, another slab of fat chugga riffage.

Great album and a worthy addition to the collection.

9/10 from The Grooveman.
