This is where reviewing a album becomes fun rather than laborious – in such much that Michael Bormann has seen it fit to release a 'Best of Ballads' album under the title of 'Love is Magic' and believe me in this case the title is so true.
Some six years after their debut, the German/Greek collaboration between Redrum and former Jaded Heart, Rain and Bonfire singer Michael Bormann finally released a new album with ‘Victims of Circumstances’. It took maybe some time but then again the result is real piece of work. Just like their debut Redrum brings heavy melodic rock with a fine mix between great guitar riffs and symphonic keyboards. And although the songs have a much harder edge than Jaded Heart, it suits perfectly the soulful and slightly hoax vocals of Michael Bormann.
