Already released domestically in April of this year, Sonic Orchid’s first full-length album (although it has a total playing time of only 35:17 minutes) has now also reached the EU, thanks to the exploring talent of one Nicky Baldrian of SLW Promotions.
Sonic Orchid is a Canadian melodic hard rock band, based in Saskatchewan and formed in 2002. After having played as a cover band for a while, the band members started writing material of their own, which led to the release of the “Sonic Orchid EP” in 2005. Another three years were necessary to come up with the follow-up, called “Love & War”.
First things first: I like the ‘special’ voice of front lady Christine Gasparic. It’s difficult to compare her with other female vocalists, but that’s a good thing, for sure! Having written the lyrics for the nine songs on offer, it’s only natural that she rules the roost. Backed by three gentlemen, she performs the material with such an ease as if she’s done this all her life. What Sonic Orchid offers the listener is a catchy mix of ‘classic’ melodic hard rock and ‘modern’ melodic metal, perfectly produced by Johnny Gasparic (family?). Surely an entertaining debut album! (
