“Rock Your World” is the debut album from Swedish band Sunstrike who formed in 2012 and it was released through the AOR Heaven label on 28th April. As far as I’m concerned you can add Sunstrike to that rather long list of great rock bands that call Sweden home! If you like labels and genres, then I’d say that Sunstrike would come in at the heavier end of the melodic rock scene.

 


 

Sunstrike was formed in 2012 by guitarist Joachim Nordlund and drummer Johan Lindstedt who had both been in the band Astral Doors. They are joined by singer Christian Hedgren, guitarist Mats Gesar, bass player Bjorn Lundquist and Fredrik Plahn on keyboards.The album was mixed and mastered by Erik Martensson of W.E.T. / Eclipse.

There are 12 great tracks on the album and picking five favourites is quite difficult but I’ll go with “Rock Your World”, “Fireball”, “Right Track”, “Roll The Dice” and “Rock It Out”

About “NI Rocks Recommends”

I'm not a reviewer and I certainly don’t claim to be a journalist, but I wanted to acknowledge some of the great music being submitted to Rock Radio NI by artists, promoters and labels. That was the simple idea behind “NI Rocks Recommends”. To be honest I’m not really a big fan of the whole idea of “Reviews” as they just represent one person’s opinion!!  So I'm not giving marks or ratings, trying to categorise bands or compare artists. The albums that I’ll be recommending are merely those that I would buy myself and which you’ll be hearing played on my shows on Rock Radio NI.
