Fatal Smile - World Domination
"World Domination" almost lives up to its title. Fatal Smile delivers catchy Heavy Rock wrapped up in a big pompous sound. The band has gotten Michael Wagener to mix the album and that just puts another quality stamp on "World Domination".
 
Guitarist Y is responsible for most songs and he is a solid musical craftsman. The riffs are catchy and his flair for melody lines is best displayed on No Tomorrow and Run for Your Life.
 
Fatal Smile looks like Glam Metal band, but they are a pure Heavy Rock band. The band has all the right ammunition - Singer Blade has a great tone and the crunchy guitars from Y provide the album with a raw but melodic groove.  
 
In 2008 Fatal Smile has been impossible to overlook. They went on a US tour, played Sweden Rock festival and scored the opening spots on the Pretty Boy Floyd/Bulletboys tour and upcoming Vince Neil tour. Fatal Smile has been everywhere in 2008, which made me check them out and I was pleasantly surprised. "World Domination" is the right album to accompany all the exposure since it's a solid and consistent album.
 
The record has a great vibe and Fatal Smile is a band to watch.
 
PLAY IT LOUD, MUTHA!
