pellek_oceanMusic is an expression of art; its an art form by whom some are able through their mastery of it can turn it into a timeless piece of symphony that like a great painting can be enjoyed generation after generation highlighting moments of brilliance. Enter Per Fredrik “PelleK” Asly, a brilliant Norwegian musician and composer. After the success of his “Bag of Tricks” album in 2012, he comes back stronger than ever with a full ensemble of great musicians to bring us to the essence of this review, his latest release, “Ocean of Opportunity”. PelleK has this to say about his latest work inside the cd cover,”…this album truly marks the beginning of a new era. I have spent the last twelve months traveling and researching geography and the world’s cultural differences in order to take you on a unique journey of revelation, self-realization and ultimate fulfillment.”

By any account, this is a massive release, its epic and unique compositions are flawlessly executed, and put this album not only ahead of the game, but places this album and the band as one of the best things the progressive metal / power metal scene has to offer. In short they are poised for greatness if they continue along this path, and do not drop the ball. This is a concept album, but fear not, this is one of those concepts you can play all day long.

The name of PelleK should be known to many of you by now. Some of you might know him as he was a participant of the Norwegian TV show ‘The X Factor’ in 2009, in which he ended in the top 12. Or maybe you know him as the lead vocalist of Damnation Angels or The Anabasis. And if that all does not ring a bell yet, maybe this does: he has done a lot of covers of metal songs, which he placed on YouTube and got a total of over two million views on it. He, for example, did Stratovarius ‘Hunting High And Low’ and Kamelot’s ‘Center Of The Universe’. Together with Tommy Johansson (ReinXeed) he covered ‘The Look’ (Roxette) and Iron Maiden’s ‘Run To Hills (Walt Disney style) and they wrote the funny song ‘Nothing But Metal’. It is over with the covers for now: PelleK releases his debut album ‘Bag Of Tricks’. Let’s see what he has in store for us. Continue reading »
