Master of Light

Master of Light is the ninth album, on which Freedom Call let its bright melody, drive and positive choruses ring out even more expansively. It was made with the stable lineup of Chris Bay (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Lars Rettkowitz (guitar), Ilker Ersin (bass) and Ramy Ali (drums). It was produced by Chris Bay and Stephan Ernst and recorded at the band's own studio. The opener "Metal Is for Everyone" is a declaration in itself — "metal is for everyone" — vividly expressing the band's stance. On "Hammer of the Gods" and "Rock the Nation," nimble guitar and big singalong choruses explode. Because the very joy of listening to metal is valued over heavy drama, the songs are honest and the hooks are strong. A strong, characteristic work you'll want to reach for when you want to brighten the everyday.
