Feinstein - 70's heavy metal that rocks my socks

[Fangface]

David Feinstein is the cousin of Dio (!) + the former The Rods guitarist, and he's back! (he even played with Ronnie 40 years ago lol)

Third Wish is a great cd full of hooks and catchy songs, in the vein of old Rainbow, Whitesnake, Dio, even Riot 90's era, a bit simpler and "groovier" (?) in the rythm department though.
Superb first class vocals courtesy of John West (Artension, Royal Hunt) who gives his best here!
70's flavoured Heavy Metal the way I like it

Not heavy as hell by any means but you can't escape these melodies

Cool! Nice to see David F. back doing something, the Rods were a killer rock band.

I need to hear the rest of the album but I'm not really liking the mp3 clips.... too power metal sounding. I'd reather hear him play some good old hard rock, we have enough power metal bands.

Hmmmm power metal sounding huh might just have to check them out in the morn!

power metal?

uuuhhhh... it's plain hard rock with simple riffs and catchy vox.
Maybe that's because of the production then. But the songwriting is definitely 70's hard rock - heavy metal.

I'm gonna check it out...sounds good to me

Just listened again..... you know what it is?... It's the drums, the continuous double bass that makes me think power metal, I guess. I don't hear too much hard rock in it, sounds more like modern metal to me. It's hard to tell anyway with just 15 second clips.

 

[Fangface]

I haven't heard those sound samples so I can't tell but you're right, 15 secs suck. They're maybe not well selected, dunno...

Because the double bass is not all over the place as far as I remember, otherwise I probably would have disliked it. I think the first song have some indeed, I'm not sure about the rest though.


Anyway, german metalheads love it already

FEINSTEIN’s new Third Wish album has landed on the German DJ Metal/Rock charts at #19 in it’s first week of release.
