_{I have to admit I don’t get over excited when I see an album submitted that comes with the genre “melodic rock” identified. Quite often the “rock” in “melodic rock” is hard to find!! However, “Victims of Our Circumstances” by Greek / German band Redrum is an album worth checking out as there’s a harder edge to it that appeals to my tastes. It is released by RMB Records on 26th April 2013.}

_{This is the second album from Redrum, following on from “No Turning Back” released in 2007. Established in Greece, the band recruited German vocalist Michael Bormann (Jaded Heart, Bonfire etc) and this new album was recorded in his studio in Duisburg. Favourite tracks would include “Scream”, “You Can’t Buy No Hero”, “Dirty White Boy” and “Have A Nice Day”.}

_{About “NI Rocks Recommends"}

_{I'm not a reviewer but wanted to acknowledge some of the great music being submitted to Rock Radio NI by artists, promoters and labels both within and outside of N Ireland. That was the idea behind “NI Rocks Recommends”. I'm not giving marks or ratings, trying to categorise bands or compare artists. To be honest I’m not really a big fan of most reviews as they’re simply one person’s opinion!! Therefore “NI Rocks Recommends” is just my personal recommendation. Let's just say that if I've went to the bother of writing this, I think it's worth taking a listen to and you’ll be hearing it played on my shows on Rock Radio NI!!}
