QuoteBCC forges blues and hard rock once again into a relentless, silver-lined set on Afterglow.
Another great review, this time from the November 2012 issue of UK based music magazine, Metal Hammer!
Liking the reviews, cant wait to form my own opinions when i hear it!
Yeah I'm just excited about this album. I've heard a few of the tracks and they are stuck in my head already.
Great review David BTW!
Did the pre-order so it shouldn't be long now.
Great reviews!! It made me more anxious to have this album in my hands!
Another excellent review of "Afterglow"...
QuoteCredit must also go to Glenn Hughes... it is strongly arguable that his performance here is one of the best vocal performances of the year, if not the best... it is an amazing achievement that will capture the attention and imagination of rock fans the world over. A singularly brilliant record, ‘Afterglow’ will undoubtedly hit album of the year polls everywhere and deservedly so – it is an excellent record.
and you gotta love one of the song descriptions...
Quote...a chocolaty-smooth slice of funk-infused soul that slinks into view wearing a genuine mink coat and shades even though it’s midnight and dark all around.

Just waiting for the shipment so I can add my own review here. It sounds like a good one !! I was really big on Album #1 and hope Afterglow can at least come close to equaling that !!
...another excellent review for Glenn and BCC

QuoteGlenn “The Voice Of Rock” Hughes who once again, not only sings like a mighty God and shining once more by alternating Angelic voice, scratchy shout or quite aggressive roar, in addition he played some meticulously-carved and groovy-bass lines plus composed the full album by himself... Damn this guy is unbelievable and tireless
...another good one

The famous German newspaper "Stuttgarter Zeitung" published this interview yesterday (which starts after a short commercial):

My CD+DVD have arrived this morning, gotta pick it up at the parcel station now...
A review in Denmark keeps it short but very good when you look at the stars:

They seem to be very critical when you look at the few stars for other albums.

5 stars is excellent... did you notice... 6 stars from the readers...
Quote...if Afterglow really is their swan song, they've finished with a bang, with no lack of quality here. Buy it now!

Quote...there aren’t enough bands playing this kind of straight-ahead, no-bull**** rock anymore. It’s a record that doesn’t bother speaking to your head — only your heart. Or maybe some place lower.
5 stars is excellent... did you notice... 6 stars from the readers...
Yes, they gave other albums just 3 stars average and I didn't see another new album with 5 stars, so that's very good!
I saw the 6 stars of the readers as well but up to now it was only one reader
Still, I think this album is a real blast, it's just having its second run over my headphones. It's definitely more a Glenn album than BCC 1 and 2, the title song is so epic, it was sending shivers down the spine straight away. Awesome! The slow acoustic parts are reminding me a bit of "Days of Avalon" but then it gets really heavy and you also have orchestral tunes with strings, horns and flutes, it just has it all. It's a blast! Now I understand why Glenn was insisting to call the album "Afterglow" (up to now I thought "III" would have been okay as well but listening to this song changed my mind). Gotta give it a few more listenings and see which will be my favs beside Afterglow...
Ouugh..."The Circle" is just playing again...heavy...dark...touching...love it as well!
