Avenged Sevenfold and Eighteen Visions had a lot in common. Both started out as metalcore bands and then ditched the core suffix after a while. Avenged Sevenfold did so with great success and became a household name. Things didn't work out exactly the same way for Eighteen Visions who subsequently called it a day in 2007.But now James Hart, former Eighteen Visions frontman, is back with Burn Halo. The rest of the line-up consists of Nickelback drummer Daniel Adair, former Jane's Addiction bassist Chris Chaney, guitarist Neil Tiemann (who now tours with American Idol winner David Cook). Oh yeah, Synyster Gates plays guitar on two tracks as well... you know, he plays in Avenged Sevenfold.
Anyway, combine the sounds of Avenged Sevenfold's last album with the musical atrocity known as Nickelback et voila... Burn Halo. Hopefully this collection of middle of the road rock songs with airwave aspirations will get Hart the success he's so obviously aiming for. It sure sounds like everything else you hear on the radio.
Score: 5.5 out of 10
