Description
The brand new album from Swedish melodic hard rock band Black Rose is called A Light In The Dark and contains 10 songs in the melodic hard rock/metal vein. It features the trademark sound of the group, built around recognizable distinctive riffs and melodic/catchy and powerful choruses. In fact, Black Rose have taken these calling cards and made them even more prominent on this release. The album covers a wide range of styles from song to song, from fast, hard driving tracks to mid-paced and heavier entries.
As with past releases, the Black Rose style of music has always stayed strong and constant, even though different music-trends have come and gone since the band began. A Light In The Darkshows the band in control and at the top of their game, 10 classic hard rock tracks delivered with an 80’s inspired metal sound.
The artwork for the album was created by Morgan Elswyse.

“Web of Lies,” dances along the pathway, slowly and subtly changing and bringing with it some intriguing melodies and pathways. “Ain’t Over Til It’s Over,” is an old school rocker that keeps things light and entertaining. “Powerthrone,” fast, brutal and simply heavy. “Don’t Fear the Fire,” is heavy, and dark. “Love Into Hate,” continues the good work with a searing fret display …read more

Ending the album on a strong note is, Love Into Hate, it begins with a fast and hard drum pattern that carries the hard and fast guitar riff. With the vocals in this song, there’s a lot of wailing and screaming and when it’s not that, it’s kind of abrupt, fast-paced singing.
