Title: Angel’s Gate

Artist/Band: AUTUMN’S CHILD

Country: Sweden

Release date: 26/02/2021

Company: AOR Heaven

Style: Melodic Rock, AOR

Mikael Erlandsson is a Swedish vocalist, keyboard player, guitarist and composer. Except of LAST AUTUMN'S DREAM, Mikael made another band with the name AUTUMN’S CHILD. Now they release their 2nd album “Angel’s Gate”, another great melodic rock/AOR result. The album imagines in my mind as a deposition of soul made of music and wonderful melodies. Overall, I was thrilled with the crystal clear production, the vocals that embrace the orchestrations and the melodies! The album is top but I choose tracks “Where Angels Cry”, “Aquarius Sky”, “Straight Between The Eyes” and “Back To The Other Side”. Also I must comment the big influence that Mikael had on writing “A Piece Of Work” a completely QUEEN-style track. Another one must-have for all fans of melodic rock/AOR!!!
