Spanish hard rock act 77 is set to release their 2nd full length album,High Decibels. The band started recording the album in April 2011 under the helm of Nicke 'Royale' Andersson' (ex NIHILIST/ENTOMBED/
The band describes it as even more 'authentic' than its predecessor. "This album is more electrifying, direct and noisy than the debut with a good old sound, recorded live in the studio without effects, tricks... just the whole band playing in a natural and wild way, you can hear feedbacks, noises, etc," states the band.
Adding details on a few songs : "High Decibels," the first track of the album, is a song that deals with "doing the things you want to do in your own way and as you want it;" which perfectly represent 77's writing behavior since the band's early days.
Heavily swamped in the 70s sound, 77 have often be compared to Bon Scott era AC/DC and the band really don't mind such comparison as their musical behavior is genuine and pure. Each band member lives for that kind of vintage sound.
Still, the band walks away a bit from their regular songwriting pattern with the last album track, "Promised Land." the longest song of the album, a kind of "mini opera" about the early days of the band when they lived in London trying to survive, playing wherever they could, making no money, and had very little future. The track features Backyard Babies' Nicke and Dregen as guest vocals.
