Well it’s a New Year and there’s not a better way to start off with this new debut release by DANGER ANGEL who hail from Athens, Greece. The band started in 2006 hooking up with Perris Records to slash the boundaries of rock with a melodic side. First off listening to the CD I loved the music that has a special taste that many dare to challenge.

First you get a flavor of rock and then a flare of melodic vibes, yet they also bring back memories as early as the seventies and eighties ala bands like ANGEL and even EDGAR WINTER, with one kick-ass keytar player named George "AHAS" Lignos.

The opening track “Com’ On Rock Me”, with sirens blasting, pumps the level to high and shows DANGER ANGEL are a pure spark of excitement. The mix of potent vocals by Jimmy Cage and those amazing keyboards, not to mention some screaming guitar licks by Ethan Chionos and Spiros Foussekis totally make the grade. “Runaway Angel” brings another change with a bit of VAN HALEN-ish chords yet shows a mastering of the BON JOVI aura.

“I’ll Be There For You” shows the sensitive side of DANGER ANGEL and if you like soaring guitar this is special. Now pump it up with “Rebel Son”, and vocally Jimmy Cage shows great range but you have to understand that every country has a slight accent and Greece is no different so you will get a bit of that yet to me Cage is comparable to Ron Keel at times and has a great ever-changing array of styles.

And DANGER ANGEL has a very special guest named Jeff Scott Soto on “Never Let You Go” (who we recently interviewed here at RockEyez). Jeff can make an impact on any tune and this one is no different. The song has great rhythm with a classic vibe and Jeff totally rules!

Check out this powerful ballad “Till The End Of Time” with additional female vocals by Peggy Zarou. The collaboration of Cage and Zarou is dominating on this song.

Another killer tune is “Until The Morning Light” with a dose of progression and a European style sets the tune on fire!!! Check out Mr. Lignos on this one…

Ending the disc is “Burning Hearts” which is a classic tune that rocks and what more can I say but this is a great way to start the year off, not a bad track on the entire disc. You have fantastic musicians that know how to write music. You get phenomenal guitar work, killer keyboards and a midsection and vocalist with great power and range. Even though this is only the first month of 2010 I can see DANGER ANGEL on many best of 2010 lists already… It’s a great debut, so pick this one up!
