Formed in the 80s, Danish band Fate have reformed and this polished album will please fans. With a beefed up Van Halen influence, it’s a great sound. Both melodies and harmonies work well, and the rhythm’s pretty heavy too.

Ranging from crunchy to smooth guitar solos, there’s some great songs here. Well, nothing too outstanding but pretty good throughout. Songs are well written and not too samey.
