MAGNUS KARLSSON’S FREE FALL – We Are The Night

We Are The Night is the second solo release from Free Fall. Free Fall is the brainchild of Swedish musician, songwriter, composer, and producer Magnus Karlsson. Like the first record, Karlsson performed most of the instrumentation except for the drums, performed by Anders Kollerfors. Karlsson then recruited a handful of top vocalists, including Noora Louhimo (Battle Beast), Dino Jelusick (Animal Drive, Dirty Shirley), Ronnie Romero (Rainbow), Renan Zonta (Electric Mob), Tony Martin, (ex-Black Sabbath), and Mike Andersson (Cloudscape), and Karlsson himself sings on 2 tracks.

We Are The Night is exceptionally good. The production is crisp and clear, the musicianship is outstanding. The songs are extremely well written and arranged. The vocalists each shine in unique and different ways. The record is billed as Melodic Rock, but there are many elements of Progressive Metal, Symphonic Metal, and Power Metal. There are 12 songs on We Are The Night and they are all very good. Since many of the vocalists only appear on one or two songs, each is capable of being a single by itself. The first track, “Hold Your Fire” features Dino Jelusick, and it is one of the best. Another standout is “Queen Of Fire”, featuring Noora Louhimo. Even “On My Way Back To Earth”, the instrumental track, is a great listen.

We Are The Night is a serious contender for the best of 2020, and must-listen for fans of Karlsson’s previous work, fans of Power Metal, Progressive Metal, and Melodic Metal.
