Switzerland doesn't get enough credit for its hard rock output, but Shakra have been quietly putting in the work since the late nineties, arena-ready hooks with enough muscle behind them to keep the metalheads on side.Everest, their 2009 full length, is the band at peak form, big choruses, clean production, and the kind of melodic hard rock that sits comfortably between classic Whitesnake and mid-period Gotthard. Not chasing trends, just doing the thing they're good at with full commitment. Fourteen tracks and no filler to speak of.CD, full length album, original 2009 pressing. Tracklisting: 1. Ashes To Ashes 2. Love & Pain 3. Let Me Lie My Life 4. Everest 5. Soldier Of Fortune 6. Blackout 7. Wings Of An Angel 8. Burning Down 9. Run Away 10. Different Ways 11. The Letter 12.
