No Tell Hotel by Black Diamonds (Metalapolis Records)

Swiss rock and rollers BLACK DIAMONDS new album NO-TELL HOTEL is already getting a lot of attention. It’s their fourth studio album. The band was formed in 2004 by singer / guitarist MICHAEL KEHL. The new lineup for the band also features on lead guitar and newest member CHRIS JOHNSON, MANUEL PENG on the drums and bassist ANDI FASSLER.

Aggressive, kick-ass rock with a pinch of POISON and a dash of AC/DC comes to mind. Many songs like the title track No-Tell Hotel, Evil Twin, The Island, Anytime and especially Reaching For The Stars, all have opportunities for AirPlay. Glad to hear that the drums are prominent in the mix. A real test for your speakers! The album has twelve tracks all in the 3:00 – 5:00 minute range. Though a 4-piece group, it sounds much bigger. Newly released in 2021 on METALAPOLIS RECORDS and coming in at one hour, you will want to check-in and spend more than a few nights with BLACK DIAMONDS at the NO-TELL HOTEL!
