Girls, girls, girls and nothing but girls on this album. This femmes fatal band from Stockholm Sweden started in 2005 and have released their first cd this year called Metalwar.

To be honest, I was a bit afraid when I first saw the album. I thought That it was going to be another Nightwish of Epica kind of genre. But upon hearing the opening song ”We are the undertakers” I was proven wrong. This is more of a “glam metal meats power metal with a pinch of theatrical elements” kind of album.
The songs are not bad with funny titles such as “The Bitch Is Back” make you wanna tap your feet on the beat and sing the lyrics but for me, at the end of the album the material looks all to similar.
One thing is for certain, these girls not only look good but can also play their instruments. But when you look that good, these ladies could convince anyone to purchase just about anything.

So you go girls.
