What the press say: Chinawhite – Evolution (?)

chinawhite - evolutionContinuing on my quest to catch up on a lot of things for the label, how about some quotes for the latest album by Chinawhite? No objection you say? Fine, here we go!

  • Stutter’s Gabor had lots of nice things to say: 8.3 / 10. Read what he writes here
  • French site Metal Integral hand out a 16/20 and say “musicians and a singer of very good level who will save you the sometimes disappointments linked to groups of young people who are just starting out”
  • Fabulous wordsmith Dmitry from Canada writes on his DMME site “Philosophical treatise on existential crisis from international think-tank who thrive on melody”and 4 / 5 stars
  • Dutch site White Room Reviews is pleased: “Anyone who likes hard rock that is easy to pick up, is well served with this foursome”
  • Spanish writes Viri AOR recommends the album and says “Hard rock with progressive influences. A very solid and interesting release!
  • a 7 / 10 from German site Crossfire Metal
  • a 3.7 / 5 from Rock Hard Slovakia “Most of the eleven songs sound like melodic hard rock with a pinch of progressive elements, with well-crafted, harmonious vocals and catchy choruses. There is an interesting rhythm section, sharp guitar riffs and quite impressive solos. The bass guitar is also an ornament of the recording”
  • a whopping 4/5 stars from Jon Neudorf at Sea Of Tranquility (USA) who confesses “This is the first time I have heard the band and what a revelation it has been. Evolution is an excellent hard rock/metal disc. The lead vocals are stellar, the riffs catchy, and the rhythm section drives it all home in dramatic and powerful fashion”
  • a mindblowing 9/10 comes from UK’s Powerplay magazine: chinawhite powerplay review
  • also from the UK, Fireworks: fireworks review chinawhite
  • also a review from the German Rock Hard: rock hard review chinawhite
  • and last but not least: there has also been an extensive interview with the band and PowerPlay writer Nicky Baldrian. This is a big file (8MB) so be patient…

 

Chinawhite – Evolution (?) out now!

chinawhite - evolution

After 30+ years and the amazing reception of their 2018 Different album, the rejuvenated band did not need 9 years this time… No, Chinawhite have wasted little time and deliver another set of crunching rock tracks. From the powerful riffs of opener No Perfect World, to the emotional Somehow, or to the instrumental prowess in tracks like the instrumental Evolution (?) or Found, the band are in top form and manage to avoid an all too formulaic sounding album. This is as fresh and exciting as rock still can be!

Peter Cox – keyboards and guitars, additional voices
Sander Stappers – bass
Phil Vincent – lead and harmony vocals
Bart Fleuren – drums

Recorded at Down The Road studio, except vocals at The Musik Room (USA).
