Album  : Human Era                     Label  : Frontiers

Description :

One of the latest albums I have reviewed was a
release from the Frontiers Records label and
anyone who knows this label, knows that they
release nothing but top quality music so if you
get something from Frontiers, you get your
moneys worth and ECLIPSE, WORK OF ART, HOUSE
LORDS, W.E.T., JSS and HARDLINE are just a few
names that spring to mind so will the band in
this review be added to bands that I like from a
top quality label like Frontiers? Let us find

The subject of this review is the latest from
American rockers TRIXTER who are back with
studio album number four which is entitled
“Human Era”. Formed in 1983 in Paramus, New
Jersey, this four piece band started out as a
live act for the first few years of their career
and in that time, despite not releasing any
albums, they gained a large following and got to
play with names like KIX and SKID ROW. 1990 saw
the release of their first album which was a
self-titled debut.

After the release of a second album in 1992 and
a covers album in 1994, TRIXTER took a 12 year
break from 1995-2007 before reforming with the
original four members to start recording again
but first it was back to their roots as a live
act so in 2008 a live album was recorded and
released and then in 2012, they signed onto
Frontiers Records and released their first album
in 20 years was released and now in 2015, album
number four is ready for us to listen to and
will be unleashed onto us in the first week of
June.

“Human Era” is 45 minutes and 11 songs of brand
new material from an act who despite going quiet
for a long time, still have in their blood to
write, perform and record music and this album
is proof of that as upon first listens, you get
a taster of what this act are capable of when
they are in the studio as there is plenty to
like about their music.

The new TRIXTER release has a lot going for it
being a Frontiers release an all but as usual,
that is always a positive thing because as I
mentioned before, this label only release top
quality music so every time they bring a band
onto their label, you know the music they make
is going to be good and that is exactly what you
get with this album. From start to end, there is
a large number of enjoyable songs ranging from
catchy and heavy Hard Rock tracks to excellent
Melodic Rock songs and everything else in
between while using elements of Glam Metal to
remind you, the listener that Glam is never dead
even though it supposedly went out of fashion
back in late 20th century. Some of the songs
that remind you of this include: “Rockin’ to the
Edge of the Night”, “Not Like All The Rest”,
“Every Second Counts”, “Beats Me Up”, “All Night
Long” and “Soul of a Lovin’ Man” to name but
many enjoyable Rock songs from this American
quartet. Production on this is excellent with
lots of cleanliness in the melodies meaning that
nothing is dull or boring and you get to hear
everything this band has to offer and then some
including the insane guitar riffs and solos, the
melodic keyboard melodies, the pounding beats
from the rhythm section that is the drums and
bass guitar and of course the vocals which work
their butt off to deliver a great performance to
accompany the already great music and that is
something is pulls off with style and class.

Bottom line, the new TRIXTER album is nothing
short of excellent as just like every other
release on the excellent Frontiers Records
label, there is nothing here that you would
hate, get bored of or want to hate even if you
spammed the hell out of it with that replay
button on your music player of choice as all the
songs are enjoyable from start to end which also
applies to this album so I would highly
recommend picking up this gem for your music
collection.
