User Album Review
After three live albums Munich’s RPWL return with pseudo-concept album ‘Tales From Outer Space’. Seven short stories where the common denominator is science fiction.
The band’s ninth studio release is, without a doubt, their strongest and most powerful yet although the striking album art will not be to everyone’s taste. Opener “A New World,” where aliens meet the band and learn how much suffering and evil prevails on earth and immediately leave again, completely shocked, strides into the room with bombast, Wallner’s dominant guitar and Yogi’s vocals set proud, front and centre. For all RPWL fans, this will bring an immediate smile to their faces, the band have returned bang on form
It’s apparent, after only three songs, that this group of talented musicians are at the height of their musical abilities on the new record and that’s reinforced by the thunderously enjoyable romp that is “Not Our Place To Be.” Featuring the not inconsiderable bass playing talents of Guy Pratt, this is a high octane piece of music that really gets under your skin.
‘Tales From Outer Space’ sees RPWL return on a high with an involving and spellbinding collection of songs that will appeal to fans old and new and cement them in the forefront of the genre where they truly belong. Already a contender for album of the year in my book!
