The new Italian band Wicked Minds is a ‘ musical time-machine’ that brings you back to the heavy progressive sound of the exciting Seventies era: a Hammond organ (lots of swirling soli) and fiery and biting (often wah-wah) guitar drenched sound and David Byron like vocals in simple but very catchy and compelling songs that will appeal to fans of mainly Uriah Heep but also Deep Purple, Atomic Rooster and even Jimi Hendrix (the track Through My Love is an obvious tribute to the late Jimi featuring a long and distorted guitar solo). This album was recorded in Germany and it’s great to hear how proud the Germans are to be able to present Wicked Minds to their fans. I don't need to say more, I only miss some refinement from their studio album Witchflower (wider range of keyboards and use of acoustic guitar ) but on the other hand, this band on stage let you freak out so dig this CD if you are up to abovementioned bands or a Hammond organ aficionado!
