And these people were called Satanists? I imagined them as completely different. Even more surprising was the fact that “Blood on the Snow” is ranked as either proto-prog or hard rock. Proto-prog on the final album of the group Coven and does not smell. As for hard rock, only the last three songs of the album can be attributed to this style with some stretch. And even then to that soft and melodic form of hard, which borders on power pop-rock.
The album begins with the glam-rock “Don’t Call Me”, which could very well be in Slade's repertoire. In addition, the vocals in this song are reminiscent of Noddy Holder's singing, but only in a higher range. The next five show the pop side of Coven's music. It is pure pop (“This Song's for All You Children”), orchestrated pop with a country flavor and vocals similar to Stevie Nix (“Lady O”), a power pop rock ballad (“Blue Blue Ships”) in which the vocalist of the band Jinx Dawson from a pop diva to a rock diva, again a pop song (“I Need a Hundred of You”) and the last of the five “Hide Your Daughters” in which the male vocals of guitarist Christopher Nielsen clearly outperforms Jinx's singing. The last three songs of the album are performed in a heavier hard rock style. True, in a light commercial version of hard rock.
There is not a single brilliant or failed composition on the album. But most of them are above average in quality. Well, the highlight of Coven is, of course, the voice of vocalist Jinx Dawson, which is great for both pop songs and rock performances.
Nice pop rock album.
