Dominating reviews in a.o. Sweden Rock Magazine followed, and a massive 350 shows worldwide is not a bad achievements these days\u2026 2011 saw the band writing and recording, and here is the next chapter\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Opener \u201cWelcome to the Freakshow\u201d opens with a circus part, before a shattering refrain embedded in a classic heavy metal style takes over. Shattering is probably how about seven of the eleven tracks will appear to their competition. \u201cNailed to the Wall\u201d, \u201cRaising Hell in Heaven\u201d, \u201cMy Private Hell\u201d, and the list of spot-on heavy metal with loads of fine fretwork, refrains and attitude is longer than that. The cunningly penned \u201cFor the Last in Line\u201d is a loving tribute to the late Mr. Ronnie James Dio (R.I.P.), which utilizes just about as much of Ronnie\u00b4s lyrics as can be done without ending up with a lawsuit. But it is all very familiar, has a lot of driving force, and the fine voice of Blade. The low points, yes there are two that are barely ok, are the a tad weaker \u201cBroken Heart\u201d, and the oddly gloomy \u201cBreak these Chains\u201d. The rest may well be on their way to a stage near you, as the band saga continues. They have done their home work and I really think this will become\u2026 magic, as Ronnie J. Dio would surely have said. <\/p>\n<p>Track List<br \/>\nWelcome to the Freakshow<br \/>\nNailed to the Wall<br \/>\nRaising Hell in Heaven<br \/>\nJudgement Day<br \/>\nBroken Heart<br \/>\nMy Private Hell<br \/>\nScarecrow<br \/>\nInnocent<br \/>\nBreak These Chains<br \/>\nTake It to the Limit<br \/>\nFor the Last in Line<\/p>\n<p>www.gmrmusic.se www.myspace.com\/fatalsmile1 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FS Records\/GMR Swedish troupe FATAL SMILE is continuing their quest for world domination with the release of their second outing \u201c21st Century Freaks\u201d.
