专辑简介

Change Of Track is the third release by Swedish melodic metal band Locomotive Breath, and their debut on Lion Music. As the title suggests, events have happened within the band. Their debut, "Train Of Events", was released in 1997 and featured a mix of melodic hard rock and progressive metal, while their follow up, "Heavy Machinery", was the debut of vocalist Mattias Osback, and showcased a heavier, more riff-orientated approach. On Change Of Track, Osback and founder/guitarist Janne Stark have collaborated more in the songwriting process, which definitely shows on the material. Bass is now handled by Talisman and ex-Yngwie Malmsteen bassist Marcel Jacob. The songs are still heavy and guitar driven, but with a stronger melodic feel and choruses that stick like epoxy. Just listen to tracks like “Shadow”, “High On Illusion”, or “I’ll Be Fighting”. The album also features two ballads, which compensates for the total lack of such on the previous release, and an instrumental guitar orgy entitled "Gargleblaster" which features Hank Shermann (Force Of Evil, Mercyful Fate), Mattias "IA" Eklundh (Freak Kitchen), Tommy Denander (Radioactive) and Lars Eric Mattsson (Mattsson).
