There is the very first album from Benjamin Holson, « Holson », simply. The album contains 10 songs mixing pop, rock and hard rock, the whole of it with texts sang in French. The compositions are melodic with good melodic riffs and Benjamin’s hoarse vocals are well at place. Personally I find the album a little too “soft”, at the same times it is not metal neither !!! The tracks are well conceived and the whole is nice to listen. In fact, it is the kind of album which could be played on radio (without being pejorative !!!). The album is varied with tracks having a certain power, others slower titles and even a ballad. « Holson » is an album which can federate a wide range of listeners, but I not catch with this album more than that.

Line up :
Benjamin Holson (chant/guitare) (vocals/guitars)
Paulo Curralo (guitare) (guitars)
