HAZY HAMLET - Full Throttle CD

Hazy Hamlet presents you its new album - FULL THROTTLE. As the title suggests, this is not an innovative material. Drinking from the inspiration of the NWOBHM and early 80s Metal bands, the band proudly presents a riffdriven album, with real valve-amps and miked cabs sound, 8 classic metal hymns at their best.
Sound-wise, the album lets clear influnces from DIO to Accept, from Maiden to Manowar, from Omen to Judas Priest, legends who reigned in the golden decade of rock music and helped craft the definitions of epic and classic metal.
Lyrics-wise, it presents reflections about beliefs, science, politics and life, highlighting a strong message about "carpe diem" - and this is not coincidence, but a fact which reflects the last couple of (dark) years the band has gone through. It brings the listener motivation to live better, faster, and take part on everything he can to make this world a less mediocre one.
Conceptually, FULL THROTTLE tries to rescue a time where an album was not fatiguing, but evocative, pleasant and memorable. All the project targets the vinyl - a double cover artwork painted in acrylics, songs length number and sequence - however it will be released primarily in CD, and a limited edition in LP may follow according to repercussion.
Once again the cover artwork brings norse god Odin, but this time he is really running wild. The supposition he transformed Sleipnir in a motorcycle is a metaphor for one to leave some old ties behind and enjoy life better. The skullsroad means the path of death and degradation human has taken. The buried anvil means Hazy Hamlet's strength, persistence and vigor.
