German shooting stars Beyond The Black return with their sophomore work called Lost In Forever. Although it is certainly not an easy task to compose a fitting follow up their surprise hit album Songs Of Love And Death the band manages almost perfectly. Of course, the experienced listener understands the carefully arranged songs and calculated songwriting, but just because someone created a professionally designed album adequately crafted to the needs of the target group, does not mean it contains sub par music.

On the contrary, Lost In Forever is a very entertaining hour of bombastic, Melodic Metal that hopefully can repeat the great success of its predecessor and bring more good Rock music into the radios and kids’ rooms of today. The dark touch of music and lyrics is just wild enough for young teens to be excited about, most songs scream to be performed live, and beautiful singer Jennifer Haben certainly does not hurt the cause.

Frank was a reviewer here at Metal Express Radio, based out of Bavaria, Germany. He has worked in the games industry for more than 20 years, now on the manufacturing side, before on the publishing end. Before this, he edited and handled the layout for a city mag in northern Germany ... maybe that is why he love being part of anything published. Frank got hooked on Metal at the age of 14 when a friend introduced him to AC/DC. They were listening to The Beatles, Madness, and The Police, and he decided they should move on. Well, they did, Back in Black became Frank's first Metal album, and since Germany is reasonably close to England, they had some small New Waves Of British Heavy Metal washing up on their shores: Tygers Of Pan Tang, Samson, Gillan, Iron Maiden, Saxon, Sweet Savage, Diamond Head, etc. If he had to pick his favorite styles, Prog and Power Metal would be at the top of the list.
