Description
In October 2017, Wonderworld started recording their 3rd album….simply to be called; III (following the numeric theme of the previous releases I and II). Even though there is influence from Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, AC/DC and Rush in the mix, the band have their own musical style and have created a solid combination of old and new influences sprinkled with their own spices to forge a melting pot of rock music.
The basic tracks are more or less live with adding vocals, the occasional solos and a bit of keyboards. It was important to the band to retain their traditional live feel on the album, because that’s what Wonderworld is all about; the energy created by 3 guys in a single room getting off on their sound and emotions!
All the songs are written by Roberto Tiranti & Ken Ingwersen and the album is produced and mixed by Ken Ingwersen. The group recorded most of the album in Lionheart studio in Oslo, Norway with engineer Øyvind Larsen in over just a few days. III is mastered by Björn Engelmann at Cutting Room, Stockholm. Björn has mastered many international acts like Rammstein, Britney Spears and Meshuggah. Special guest on this album is Alessandro Del Vecchio (Hardline, Jorn) on hammond and keyboards.

So if you like your rock, hard and heavy, yet melodic and catchy, with a big helping of strong guitar lines, you will most definitely enjoy this album. All I have to add now is to say to Roberto, Ken and Tom is that I thoroughly enjoyed listening to and reviewing this album.

Una grata sorpresa que espero no pase desapercibida para los que gustan de la calidad instrumental, del barniz que hace brillar lo secado ante muchos soles y la melodía precisa en el segundo indicado. Los sonidos prefabricados no encontrarán hueco en estos surcos de dedicación amaestrada por el consumo inherente a la edad de los discos que se asimilan, con el aprendizaje de la juventud, y representan la madurez de su presente …read more

Per una volta la mia curiosità è stata ampiamente ripagata. Quest’album è un felice connubio tra potente classic rock e progressive, senza troppi fronzoli e con tonnellate di classe, che non ha nulla da invidiare ad uscite più blasonate come Black Country Communion o Winery Dogs …read more
