Mass has always been a tight sounding four piece that has excelled in great songwriting and blinding musicianship. Once again, using Martin Kronlund at the production helm, what we have here is a winning formula that can only enhance their popularity. Although essentially a hard rock band, Mass knows how to hit the right notes with a ballad or two and they pour on the passion with ease. Astounding music...
With thirty years experience in this competitive world of rock music, Mass has come shining through.
