September 25, 2013, 11 years ago
Mühlheim, Germany's TOJA will release their fourth album, (Sad) Songs Of Hope, on October 18th via Pure Steel Records sub-label, Pure Rock Records.
(Sad) Songs Of Hope is true to the band's style and convinces with 12 gripping tracks, which all fans of melodic sounds will definitively love. Powerful, sometimes higher vocals meet harmonious catchy choruses and matching keyboard parts; all in the tradition of AOR and melodic metal bands like the later RAINBOW, harder JOURNEY and sometimes PRETTY MAIDS. The album features hard and straight rock-pieces like the opener 'The Storm' or 'Free My Mind' and the more metallic title track, but also obligatory lyrical (half)ballads like 'Day and Night' and 'Waiting', which lighten the album skillfully. ToJa have managed to create a much diversified output which captures all fascinating facets of the genre on one album.
