Highly dynamic, female fronted powerhouse!
After their successful second album “Dark Mother Rises”, the female fronted melodic metallers LANKESTER MERRIN from Lower Saxony present their third album “Dark Mother's Child”. It offers nine neck-breaking and at the same time highly melodic songs, including true metal anthems and varied midtempo rockers, heavy double bass numbers and mighty power ballads.
On “Dark Mother's Child”, the band continues its breathtaking development and sometimes goes even harder than on its predecessors. Razor-sharp solos, lightning-fast double bass passages and driving guitar riffs make this album an audio experience worth listening to, whereby the multi-faceted vocals of frontwoman Cat Rogers should not go unmentioned. She has succeeded in refining her style, making her voice an almost unmistakable figurehead for Lankester Merrin.
The album was again recorded and produced at the Institut für Wohlklangforschung in Hanover (e.g. Drone, Grailknights) under the direction of Hannes Huke and is recommended to every fan of catchy, powerful and melodic power metal that, despite female vocals, stays away from the usual symphonic corner!
