InVader

InVader is the fourth album, boldly combining glam metal's flash with pop melody that sticks. Released on 4 March 2016, timed to the opening night of their European tour with Santa Cruz. The guitars glitter, the rhythms are light, and the choruses are built so plainly you want to memorise them at once. Following the previous album's high standard, it also steers toward a more open, radio-friendly sound — their own answer to the problem of how to top a peak. The band's playfulness is intact, while electronic textures and a modern tightness enter the production. It listens lightly, yet the hooks are strong song by song. “Keep It Up All Night” and “Monster” became signature tracks, and the latter in particular was used in episode 6 of the series Peacemaker in 2022, drawing worldwide attention in an unexpected way; streams reportedly rose sharply. The Def Leppard-ish “Rock It,” the classic ballad “Destiny,” the Mötley Crüe-ish “Bullettime” — the range is wide. Recommended without hesitation to anyone wanting bright rock 'n' roll energy.
