Titan - Steps
7/10
www.rushionrocks.com
This very site has lauded Titan as the natural heirs to fellow Swedes Europe and there are moments on this six-track mini album where the two acts become one.
Yet where Europe have moved on to forge a heavier blues rock sound less reliant on striking keys, the young bucks of Titan frequently head in the opposite direction to create a melting pot of retro 80s pop rock.
Borne out of the ashes of Striker it’s doubtful this cool-as-ice quintet will appeal to the mass metal market – at time they sound more A-Ha than AC/DC – but there’s something achingly attractive about Titan’s ear for an anthem. Title track Hero is a strange choice to open with as a the weakest of the songs showcased here but When Evening Falls is fantastic stuff. Roll on the full length debut.
