2022 release from this musical union between Canadian vocalist Harry Hess (Harem Scarem) and Swedish drummer/producer Daniel Flores (The Murder Of My Sweet, Find Me). This, their fourth overall, offers up another outstanding collection of songs that continues the fine tradition they've now established of the course of their discography. Hess is, as always, on fire here and this is another outstanding production job by Flores. As with previous releases, this is another must hear for fans of the AOR/Melodic Rock genre as, in 2022, it does not get any better than this. Pete Alpenborg (Arctic Rain), Guillermo Del Medio (Inner Stream), Alessandro Del Vecchio, Kristian Fyhr (Seventh Crystal), Herman Nori, and others have contributed their songwriting talents to this latest opus with spectacular results. Closer to the Edge is once again a total delight for AOR and melodic rock fans and an easy contender for AOR album of the year.
