Frozen Tears - Brazen Whisper ( New CD,2021) ( Kiss, Whitesnake, Dokken )

Description: Multiple Copies sent over seas will cost as much as one CD so please enquire if need be. As the world started heading into isolation and worrying about the future, Akritidis and Powers were escaping into their music, layingdown and refining cuts like “ Set Me Free ”, “ Love Can Be Real ”, “ Hold on Tight ” and “ Brazen Whisper ”. These highly infectious new tracks show that FROZEN TEARS have remained true to their original influences and direction, while also showing a natural maturity in sound, lyrics and production. FROZEN TEARS also enlisted Ty Sims to engineer and co-produce the new album. Ty Sims has worked with AOR giants HOUSE OF LORDS on their last albums. With the seven tunes already finished and in the can,“Brazen Whisper” makes an emphatic statement that melodic hard rock in its classic style remains just as vibrant and vital as it ever was, and is not going anywhere anytime soon. Certainly not if Frozen Tears have anything to say about it. Influences by DOKKEN, KISS, WHITESNAKE, EXTREME, FOREIGNER. I choose tracks: “Brazen Whisper”, “You”, “Love Can Be Real”, “Set Me Free” and “C’mon And Love Me” (KISS cover). 1 Brazen Whisper2 You3 Hold On Tight4 Love Can be Real (2021)5 Set Me Free6 Can't Stop7 Comon' & Love Me ( KISS COVER) "Frozen Tears from Australia know how to deliver a hard-hitting melodic rock song, and the seven tracks found within Brazen Whisper are like a sonic love letter to a timeless genre that continues to enrapture music fans everywhere." High Wire Days Online And AOR is where Melbourne based band Frozen Tears has chosen to vie for your attention.Formed back in ‘96, they released their debut album perhaps most notable for housing the anthem for soccer club South Melbourne.Fast forward 24 years or so and we have the follow-up, Brazen Whisper.An Album of six original songs rounded out with a seventh track, the Kiss cover C’mon and Love Me.So, does this release warrant scurrying past or demand that you make time for it on your journey?Let’s see.Album opener and title track Brazen Whisper certainly deserves more than a passing glance with its impressive intro. From there, Frozen Tears glide through the gears as the verse leads into a great chorus followed by some surprisingly hard edged riffs and a cracking outro.You is next up and maintains the momentum, especially with its pre-chorus vocals and impressive lead guitar work.So far, so good…However, tracks three and four Hold on Tight and Love Can Be Real can’t quite keep up with their predecessors. Not an indictment, but rather a reflection on just how strong the opening two tracks are.But then Set Me Free swaggers into view with Jon Powers slithering riffs snaking through the EP’s funkiest track. And it has to be said that vocalist Thanis Akritidis really comes into his own here. Cant Stop is the last of the original compositions, with its acoustic guitar and backing vocals doing a great job of conveying something that, in the wrong hands, may have come across as just a little too earnest.Rounding it all out is Frozen Tears’ respectful cover from one of their major influences Kiss, with C’mon and Love Me.And there you have it. A very good example of not just Aussie AOR but AOR full stop. An EP, that thanks to the majority of its compositions and especially impressive guitar work, warrants far more than a cursory glance on your next stroll through rock musics landscape.
