\"MiracleTattooed Woman<\/em> is the debut album from Miracle Master, the new German melodic hard rock band formed from the ashes of Pump. Pump didn\u2019t exactly set the melodic rock world on fire, but now that they\u2019ve hooked up with Danish vocalist Oliver Weers (who has a couple of solo albums under his belt), they have a new energy to go with the new band name.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to hear a melodic hard rock band out of Germany and not think about bands like Pink Cream 69 and Voodoo Circle, and there are definitely some similarities to those bands in Miracle Master\u2019s sound. They\u2019ve got a grittier, harder rocking approach at times though; one that\u2019s similar to Red Dragon Cartel and even Pretty Maids\u2019 more metal moments. Part of that is Weers\u2019s powerful vocal performance, but the riffs also get really heavy when they need to (see \u201cWhy Religion\u201d and \u201cMiracle Masters\u201d). Regardless of how heavy the songs get, the band never loses that melodic focus. There are some really catchy hooks here, and of course the vocal melodies are fantastic. <\/p>\n

Tattooed Woman<\/em> is a really solid album throughout, but there are a few tracks that stand out right from the start. Leadoff track \u201cCome Alive\u201d starts things off with a bang, and is a perfect example of the Miracle Master sound. The title track is another winner, and may be the catchiest song on the album (seriously, just try and resist rocking out and singing along to that one). \u201cTear Down the Walls\u201d has a great modern hard rock vibe that wouldn\u2019t be out of place on mainstream rock radio.<\/p>\n

Once again, the Europeans show the rest of the world how melodic hard rock should be done. With a sound rooted in the \u201880s hard rock bands and reflective of the current European melodic rock scene, Miracle Master is a band that ought to appeal to a wide array of rock n\u2019 roll fans. If you\u2019re a fan of Pink Cream 69, The Ragged Saints, Red Dragon Cartel and Hardcore Superstar in particular, you need to get your hands on a copy of Tattooed Woman.<\/p>\n
