Description

Still sealed original 2002 Frontiers release

Slav Simanic, the talented Yugoslavian born guitarist currently residing in Canada, debuted in 1998 with the predominantly instrumental hard rock release Water Of Life then returned with the sophomore effort entitled Let It Gom in 2002, that, while featuring more variety musically when compared to its predecessor, moves mostly in an upbeat melodic hard rock direction. A wonderfully gifted musician, Simanic showcases his talent best on the albums instrumental tracks, his fast fingered playing bringing to mind the likes of Carl Johan Grimmark (Narnia), Rex Carroll (Whitecross) and Joe Satriani. On the other hand, the material that features Phil Naro on lead vocals often can comes across on the restrained side in that Simanic does not always cut loose and extend the length of his lead guitar work as best that he could. It is worth pointing out that Simanic has chosen a very capable vocalist in Naro who brings out the best in the project with a fine melodic flavored voice. Let It Go stands out with a bright and sharp sounding production job. A crisp rhythm guitar and clean mix of lead guitar complements a rhythm section providing the needed punch and power.
