Dynazty – The Dark Delight
Label: AFM Records
Release date: April 3rd, 2020

DYNAZTY really nailed it with their previous album “Firesign” which established this band in the Melodic Metal champions league. So, expectations were set very high on their latest offer “The Dark Delight”. And to cut it short: they succeeded this challenge with style! “The Dark Delight” once again offers a strong selection of melodic songs which deliver the typical Swedish sound: catchy hooks & melodies, huge choruses, tasty guitars and a brilliant singer, i.e. Nils Molin (AMARANTHE). Always on an edge between Melodic Hard Rock and Melodic Metal. On top of this, famed producer Jacob Hansen (VOLBEAT) as usual added a top class production. The track “Waterfall” is a real killer track which would be a huge commercial radio hit in a fair music world. This one also would suit the catalogue of a band like ECLIPSE very well and shows the more Hard Rock-orientated side of DYNAZTY. Other highlights to mention are the catchy “Presence Of Mind” with it’s huge choruses and pithy grooves, and the heavy, a bit progressive song “Threading The Needle”. Highly recommended!
