Hasse Fröberg is well known for his contribution for more than two decades as a singer and guitarist in The Flower Kings, as well as his work with the Swedish hardrock band Spellbound in the eighties. HFMC also consists of Anton Lindsjö, Thomsson, Kjell Haraldsson and Ola Strandberg. The band members have played together with names like Glenn Hughes, Michael Schenker, Jeff Scott Soto, Joe Lynn Turner and of course Spellbound. HFMC has a warm and unique sound of their own with influences from Progressive Rock, Classic Rock and even a hint of Pop.
The title track opens the disc and it is a truly epic experience. At over twenty-one minutes it encapsulates the band’s sound and is a monumental achievement. Signature builds, mood laden soundscapes, excellent guitar riffs (both acoustic and electric), superb keyboard work (organ is quite prevalent) and catchy vocals (both lead and backing). Kudos to Haraldsson for his excellent keyboard solos. Melodic progressive rock and classic rock sounds abound with constant dynamics between lighter and heavier passages. I think if you like bands like Spock’ Beard, The Flower Kings and Enchant you will love this track. Next is the toe tapper “Sleeping with the Ghost” which has to be one of the catchiest tracks with more superb acoustic and electric guitar and synth solos. The melody is strong with this one with the chorus playing over and over in my head long after the song’s five minute running time. “Time Waits” is another stand out track, a melodic rocker to be sure. Tasty guitar, keys, tempo changes, you pretty much get it all. Again, Spock’s Beard might be the closest reference.
The album’s most tender and personal moment is the acoustic based “Rain” where Hasse says goodbye to his dad. RIP. It’s certainly a beautiful send off. The electric guitar solo in the break might just be the best on the disc.
