Mad Haven - 'Sound Of The Music' EP
So far in 2017, my reviewing ears have been subjected to some tripe to say the least. I was hoping for some relief, and thankfully I have found it!
I’d heard on the local jungle drums that
there was a (very) young North Wales band that’s been growing in reputation and
getting some serious attention. So when a mate of mine posted a FB Live video
of theirs over the Christmas period I was hooked like a salmon.


Title track ‘Sound Of The Music’ leads you
in a few directions before settling in. Its certainly straight out of the heavy
metal songbook….’rock and roll is the sound of the music’. It leads itself to a
15 minute rocking live version I imagine as it allows the guys to go off in all
directions. For me the best is kept until last. ‘Watcha’ Gonna’’ includes a
line ‘all you think is what's for tea tonight’. The song is lifted by a
refrain/bridge/chorus that experienced professional bands would love, make that 'kill' to write.
Its all about the melody and Mad Haven have this in abundance.
So, despite my ‘young’ remarks, MH are as
professional as they come. DO NOT dismiss this band as they are going places.
If you like your metal to be tight, rock hard, balls to the wall, and tinged
with the Aussie influence then look no further than Mad Haven.
Mad Haven have an EP launch party at The
Marine Hotel, Old Colwyn, Sat, 11th Feb. £5 entry and you get a copy
