Lost In Vain

"The Swedish power trio Laudamus returns with a very fine sophomore effort entitled Lost In Vain in which the band showcases its brand of catchy and well-crafted eighties influenced melodic metal. Frontman Peter Stenlund contributes a solid mid-octave ranged vocal style to the project, displaying significant improvement in his performance over the bands inconsistent and rough sounding 1999 debut Unlimited Love. Stenlund fills in on rhythm guitar in addition to handling much of the albums lead guitar work, while bassist Jonas Stenlund and drummer Jonas Cederteg round out the rhythm section. Please note that what helps Lost In Vain to stand out as a project are its numerous guest appearances: Marty Friedman, Mattias Eklundh, Ken Marcello, Howie Simon and Ken Tamplin contribute their talents on lead guitar, while Jeff Scott Soto, Rob Rock and Tamplin help out on lead vocals."
