    Translated from the original French

    Yeah!!! At last a glam band that has chosen quality... Flawless heavy, it is fresh, it is clear, it is SCARLET RED... Danis's vocals are at the top level, it is beautiful, it is strong, perfect mastery, in short, class!!! The guitar man, Curtis LEE, is far from being bad!!! Just listen to "Cry Out", "Fight Fire", "You Live Fast",... Curtis played for several years with a nightclub band, before realising that he ought to use his talent for the Lord!! Davy LEDFORD (drums) does some pretty crazy work... "Lost And Found", "Don't Dance With Danger", "Break The Chains",... Davy studied drums for several years, and has done several radio and TV broadcasts in the USA. Jeff WARNER (Bass) has also studied (Musicians Institute Of Hollywood) and like Curtis, he has played in the clubs of Nashville!! In short, the guys in SCARLET RED are not beginners, and they prove it well on this album!! On the lyrics side, no compromise, SCARLET RED really wants to give honour and glory to their Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, and above all to make Him known to the lost... YEAH!!! (If you call on His Name, your chains will fall today. He is the answer and the way; through His blood, the price is paid...). In short, an album for all those tuned in to commercial heavy / hard FM...

    Other coverage for this album

    Heaven's Metal #20Reviewed by CWMy first listen to Scarlet Red's Don't Dance With Danger unexpectedly impressed me. "Whoa dude, that singer, Danis, sounds a lot like Margaret Becker," I thought, "especially in the lower registers." A subsequent listen to a Becker disc only showed how errant that early comparison had been. Danis shows little of Margaret's power, phrasing, and maturity, and she sometimes expects too much of her…
