PARRIS HYDE: "Unlock your Freedom" - Reviewed by Rocka Rolla ! Check it out here at this link: http://rockarollazine.blogspot.com/2022/06/parris-hyde-unlock-your-freedom-2022.html
We are on a roll!! More classic heavy coming from Italy, in this case from Milan. Although they prefer to label themselves as "Hard rock with a heavy metal orientation" I consider them to be just that, a Heavy Metal band, without more.
Recently we discovered The Loving Tongue, a band with which they could share the stage without problems. It would be wrong, however, to draw comparisons between the two bands.
Unlike the aforementioned ones, which achieved a quite personal sound and introduced elements of progressive sound, these Parris Hyde remain anchored in a very vintage sound that I imagine will generate criticism and adhesions in equal parts. Its vocalist, Parris Scaglione in particular adopts a vocal tessitura that is quite reminiscent of Blaze Bailey, above all, especially in "Home is where the heart is" a very indebted theme of the Maiden sound. The album in general is entertaining. A modest production, without great boasts, but effective.
With the songs at a rather fast pace and good vocal melodies that contribute to elevate the album and some meritorious compositions ("The way" or "Rock is dead (Long live Metal)") that if we can not qualify as great at least they manage to be correct and varied, well developed.
It would be interesting if these types of bands had the opportunity to tour outside their country because they certainly have options to go up to a higher level. Meanwhile here we have this "Unlock your freedom" as an alternative to the big bands we know maybe too much. - Rocka Rolla
