Battle Tapes - Valkyrie Radio Edit

Review by Tibor

Valkyrie Radio Edit, the latest album from Battle Tapes, is a stunning work of synth-driven rock that will leave listeners breathless. The Los Angeles-based band has crafted an album that is both powerful and atmospheric, with each track building on the last to create a cohesive and immersive experience.

From the opening notes of "No Good," it's clear that Battle Tapes means business. The pulsing synth bass and driving drums set the tone for the album, with frontman Josh Boardman's vocals soaring above the mix. Tracks like "Solid Gold" and "Valkyrie" feature catchy hooks and infectious melodies that will have listeners singing along in no time.

But it's not all high-energy rockers on Valkyrie Radio Edit. The band shows their range with the haunting ballad "Nightfall," which showcases Boardman's emotive vocals and the band's ability to create a dense, atmospheric soundscape. The album's closing track, "Valkyrie (Orchestral)," takes the listener on a journey through soaring strings and epic percussion, bringing the album to a triumphant close.
