Heave – Final Day (Release Year – 2007)
Stockholm, Sweden’s Heave have released a brand new disc, “Final Day”. Unlike the majority of the acts from Sweden that have been moving in the glam metal direction, “Final Day” is a heavy metal record.
The music on “Final Day” is pretty good. The guitar work is often in a heavy doom laden style, that I didn’t expect to hear from this band. The problem with Heave’s sound, is the vocals of Anna Olsson. This girl can sing, and truly belt out the notes. On “Final Day” Anna Olsson hits some extremely high notes with her high pitched screams that makes the hair stand up on my arms. It is really cool, and from a metal perspective this is the type of thing that I like to hear from a singer. From this listener’s ears, the pitch of her voice doesn’t match up well with Heave’s bass heavy music.
This is an example of a talented band with a good singer, but the two pieces of a puzzle that don’t seem to fit together very well. I believe Heave has a lot of potential, but Final Day is a release that they will need to grow from if they are to succeed.
If female fronted metal is your thing, you ought to give Heave a look.
