Band: Masters Of Waha Master Of Waha is the new musical adventure of Xavier Carion (ex-Channel Zero, Sons of Jonathas ) and Stef ‘Doc‘ Sinnaeve. They met already earlier on when they have been working together to record the Sons of Jonathas album The Death Dealer in 2005. The ball started rolling when they met vocalist Jason Vanacker. Xavier and Stef decided to built this project around Jason’s voice. The result was/is classic hard rock influences with modern rock patterns. The band started recording in 2009/2010 and In March 2010 the Dutch guitar player Ronald Camonier joined the band. The band signed a deal with Ultimate Records for Europe in June 2011, and their debut album Wasteland was released in September last month. To be honest I think this is lame. I’m not talking about the music but about the concept. Xavier didn’t want to join Channel Zero again on their reunion due to “hearing problems” but he now releases a rock album (with here and there some harder riffs). It’s is good right, don’t get me wrong, I just think it’s very lame. Anyway apart from that this is one varied disc. Melodic classic/ modern rock, some punk influences and even here and there are some industrial vibes going on. The band clearly chose for a more “simpler” kind of music witch is a nice change from al the shredding these days, but after a few songs you feel that it misses some harder techniques (instrument wise) and becomes a bit less interesting at that point. 72/100 Jeroen. |
