Melodic Metal Mastery: Pretty Maids’ ‘Motherland’ (KICP-1654)
Today’s entry spotlights a modern classic from the enduring Danish hard rock and heavy metal veterans, Pretty Maids. We are looking at their 2013 studio album, “Motherland,” released in Japan on the Nexus label (King Records) with the catalog number KICP-1654. This copy comes complete with its original obi strip.
Released on March 27, 2013, “Motherland” continued the band’s spectacular creative renaissance that began with their previous album, “Pandemonium.” Produced by Jacob Hansen, the album features a modern, punchy, and heavy sound that perfectly complements the band’s signature blend of aggressive riffs and soaring, melodic choruses.
The album showcases the legendary songwriting partnership of Ronnie Atkins (vocals) and Ken Hammer (guitar) in top form. Tracks like the heavy opener “Mother Of All Lies,” the anthemic “The Iceman,” and the ballad “Sad To See You Suffer” highlight their ability to balance heaviness with commercial appeal.
As is tradition with King Records releases, this Japanese edition offers exclusive value to collectors. It includes a bonus 14th track, a remix of “Mother Of All Lies,” which was not available on standard international editions. KICP-1654 is an essential release for fans of melodic metal, capturing a veteran band experiencing a powerful second wind.
