Brazil isn’t just Angra and Sepultura. The
country does harbor have some pretty good melodic rockers as well. Last year
saw the release of one great example. West Hill plays great melodic hard
rock/AOR with a strong southern touch. Not overwhelmingly heavy, but with
really cool blues guitars and keyboards with a strong 80s touch. Like in One
More Night In Heaven, the keyboards could have been sampled from an old Styx
album. Singer Alamo Balzer has a clean, melodic and really pleasant voice. They
remind me of US 70s band Thunder at times, but with a more contemporary vibe.
Highly recommended for fans of melodic rock!
