Redstacks is a Dutch band that plays Classic Hard Rock . The band was formed in 2018 and exists of four top notch musicians, and to complete the “Revival Of The Fittest” album they have required the help of a number of guest vocalists, a.o. Jan Willem Ketelaars (Ayreon), Nick Holleman (ex-Vicious Rumors) and Laura Guldemond (Burning Witches).

 

I have to admit, as a countryman of them, I had never heard of Redstacks, and after listening to “Revival Of The Fittest” I am quite embarrassed. This is pure gold, so I now know I need to go and see this live whenever I can. “Revival Of The Fittest” consists of almost 50 minutes of pure quality Melodic Rock. When you listen to Redstacks a few things become quite clear. First off, the songs and musicians are all of a very high standard. Plus, the vocals are very close to perfect and to top that the whole experience has me smiling all through the album.

 

Extra note: the use of Hammond organs gives the sound that hint of Deep Purple. You will be reminded of many peers throughout “Revival Of The Fittest”, but overall, they really have succeeded and acquired a sound of their own. And that really is a very nice surprise. Great album. Please don’t have us waiting too long for a sequel.
