Description
Vocalists/multi-instrumentalists Claus Lessmann and Michael Voss, who also produces acts such as Michael Schenker: a combination that makes rock fans sit up immediately. Considering the twos various collaborations – lately as members of Phantom V – spread over several decades, ‘Rock Is Our Religion’ is way more than a debut. The album, which was recorded and produced by Voss at German Kidwood Studios Münstertal and Kidroom Studios Greven (only Vincent Gollys drums were tracked by Mathi Brandstetter at Home Studios Hamburg, Germany), rather is a relevation, a bow down to genuine rock packed in 49 minutes of handmade music performed to the point.
Lessmann and Voss complement each other over these 12 tracks as if they hadnt done anything else before: from mysteriously starting opener ‘Medicine Man’ to lead single ‘Smoke Without A Fire’, the recording of ‘Take My Heart And
Run’, circling back to one of their earlier songwriting cooperations in the ’90s, and the duos interpretation of Americas 1975 hit song ‘Sister Golden Hair’ (feat. Kenny Lessmann on drums and Martin Huch on pedal steel guitar), this album impressively shows that it still doesnt need many frills to create impactful heavy music nowadays. Amen!
