I suppose the natural concern for any experienced fan is the extent to which `Sign of Angels’ is a rock record as opposed to a pop record. For that matter every fan of the genre should be reassured that this album is indeed energetic melodic rock that often enters hard rock territory consistently demonstrating guitar riffs and lengthy solos, big drumming and melodic keyboards, all under a rock-solid production. So Issa’s debut comes out in the most honest and rocking way; If I had to compare the sound of this album to a recent melodic rock release that would be Harry Hess’`First Signal’. As a matter of fact the songwriting team of the two releases is very similar featuring Tom and James Martin, Soren Kronqvist and Thomas Vikstrom.
