Scarlet Haze is a new interesting female fronted hardrock band. Fans of Halestorm should pay attention now because One Bad Bitch is right the same alley as them. Fronted by Kat Perkins that has a powerful and melodic voice that really shines out on this album, I got hooked. Album opener Blame It On You sets the standard for this album. Yes, this is a monster rocker with big crunchy guitars and a huge catchy chorus. Can’t Get Enuff continues the album in a fantastic way with powerful drum sound and big hooklines and the guitars are all over this song. The title track rocks big time with heavy melodic riffs and a bombastic chorus that fans of Halestorm will love for sure. Hero is a fantastic semi-ballad that could have been on a Nickelback album. Chad Kroeger (Nickelback) has co-written Reach Down and this sounds like a leftover from Nickelback, nice rocker, but nothing more. King Of Loneliness is an instant hit and this is a song that hooks you up right away. The chorus is stunning. Suffocating is an awesome mid-tempo rocker with fantastic guitars in the chorus, another song that you can’t get out of your head. Give Me A Reason is an outstanding piano power ballad with a huge chorus and damn how good Kat sings, I get goose bumps. There’s also a hidden track, it’s a different version of Blame It On You. The production is crystal clear and powerful. Only down point is the booklet that is a bit cheap, but otherwise this is an MUST album if your into Halestorm. So get yourself a copy of this monster albums right away. It’s an order. This is one of the albums I played most recently.
