EN

Last month I got the album of Huntress. Shortly thereafter I received Diemonds and I immediately thought: I really hope that this rocks more, and yes, it is indeed better.

The title track Never Wanna Die sets the tone and exudes a rock 'n roll feel, something that can be said about the whole album. This is hard rock with some metal influences and a wonderful Joan Jett attitude. Priya Panda even sings a bit in the same way and so it sounds rather old school with some modern licks. The songs are rather short, something like three minutes. The album was produced by Eric Ratz, who previously did stuff for Billy Talent and Monster Truck.

These songs convince me: Never Wanna Die (which could be a perfect single), Secret, Wild At Heart and Meet Your Maker that has a very beautiful chorus. Do not expect an unforgettable album, but it sounds quite good. The lyrics are quite OK, just a pity of that insipid cover!

Verleden maand kreeg ik het album van Huntress om te bespreken. Kort daarna kreeg ik Diemonds in mijn handen en meteen dacht ik: hopelijk rockt dit heel wat beter, en jawel, hoera, het is inderdaad beter.

De titel track Never Wanna Die zet meteen de toon en straalt een rock ’n roll gevoel uit, iets dat trouwens voor het hele album geldt. Dit is hardrock met wat metal invloeden en een heerlijke Joan Jett-attitude. Priya Panda zingt trouwens ook een beetje op dezelfde manier zoals zij, en dus klinkt het eerder old school met wat moderne licks. De nummers zijn eerder aan de korte kant: gemiddeld zo’n drie minuten. Het album is geproduceerd door Eric Ratz die eerder al Billy Talent en Monster Truck deed.

Deze nummers van de Canadezen konden mij overtuigen: Never Wanna Die (wat zo een single kon zijn), Secret, Wild At Heart en Meet Your Maker met een zeer mooi refrein.

Verwacht geen onvergetelijk album, maar toch klinkt dit goed. De teksten zijn best ok, alleen jammer van die smakeloze hoes!
