Masheena - West Coast Hard Rock (Vinyl/Record)

Masheena:  Bergen, Norway.

Masheena was formed in 2021 by a gang of hard rocking friends in Bergen, Norway, Combined, the members have about 100 years experience recording and touring with acts like Immortal, Abbath, I, Royal Rooster, Lost at Last and St Satan.

The best way to describe the music is simply hard rock, or West Coast Hard Rock, as their debut album will be called.

What to expect: From the Sabbath-meets-Kiss bounce of ‘1979’ and the grunge on ‘Under The Same Sun’ on the first two singles, ‘West Coast Hard Rock’ presents a versatile collection of hard rock tunes. ‘Looks Like A Man’ and its storytelling tips its hat respectfully north to Motorspycho, ‘5 seconds’ sounds like something that could happen if Dave Grohl and Red Fang crashed a party at The Doom Saloon, ‘Brings Me Down’ has a southern groove and a swagger like David Coverdale before he got his Hollywood-teeth. There’s even a ballad, ‘Sun Remains’ that echoes early Zeppelin and the devastatingly heavy album-closer ‘Where Are You Now’, leaving you craving for a second listen-through.

Masheena is based on a simple yet challenging mission: to honor the rich heritage of hard rock music by creating great songs that people can connect with.
