Skeletoon's brand of europower metal has never sounded so classic and "80s"... and yet contemporary. How did they do the trick? As simple as that: they just had so much fun doing it! And you can feel this über joyous approach in every single track of the new album (the third in a row since 2019). The goal was to mix their solid metal background with some AOR influences; mission accomplished thanks to a subtle use of the synths and the massive choirs powered by an impressive list of special guests. After successfully celebrating the myth of the 'Goonies' flick with the brilliant 'They Never Say Die' album, the NerdMetal gang headed again to Hollywood: 'The 1.21 Gigawatts Club' is actually a concept based on the evergreen 'Back to the Future' saga, revisiting Marty & Doc's adventures with both the due respect and a super hilarious spirit. The ultimate fusion between power metal and OST: what a great time to be alive!
