ICONIC sind Sänger Nathan James  die Gitarristen Michael Sweet und Joel Hoekstra, Bassmann Marco Mendoza und Tommy Aldridge an den Drums und mit dieser Besetzung das, was man heutzutage Supergroup nennt. Wie dem auch sei, zusammen haben die erfahrenen und respektablen Hard Rocker die “Second Skin“ Scheibe aufgenommen, die am 17. Juni der Welt zeigen soll, wie ausgewachsener Hard Rock klingen soll. Das neue Video zu `Nowhere To Run` Video macht schon mal den Anfang.

 Joel Hoekstra erzählt:

„The riffs were all very comfortable to me because I wrote most of them.  I definitely have a great comfort level playing with Tommy Aldridge that’s developed over the last 8 years or so with Whitesnake. I’ve also co-written with Nathan, Michael, and Alessandro in the past, so everything felt very natural despite this being a “new“ band. Michael asked me to write riffs without an arrangement (as he did with George Lynch on the Sweet & Lynch records) and then he arranged them with what he had written. I wrote melodic/hard rock riffs as that was the vibe we had discussed and then all the solo parts had more to do with trying to compliment Nathan’s vocal melodies and of course add a bit of fire,“

Lyrics:

Trying to live through this pain

Fighting to survive

All that we’ve done is all in vain

Here we are alive

 

Time’s running fast while we walk slow

Let’s shift this paradigm

Without a future how can you grow

There’s no mountain left to climb

 

Left in the shadows to crawl in the dark

With no hope in sight

All that we see is not there for real

The days turned to night

 

We’ve got nowhere to run

Nowhere to hide

This world is getting crazy

We’re blinded by lies

 

Now you can’t say that magic spell

That used to give us love

Is it a vision how can you tell?

Reach out for above

 

Left in the shadows to crawl in the dark

With no hope in sight

All that we see is not there for real

The days turned to night

 

We’ve got nowhere to run

Nowhere to hide

This world is getting crazy

We’re blinded by lies

 

Let us the see truth, let us realize

How can we stay right here and compromise?

 

We’ve got nowhere to run

Nowhere to hide

This world is getting crazy

We’re blinded by lies
