What's up everybody? Like we said we are usually in a good mood, but the last couple of days that has changed. Over the past weeks, since our shows in Belgium and The Netherlands, we have been receiving every 2 or 3 days or so reviews from our CD and our live shows often in foreign languages. We have been holding our breath anxiously for our language wizard to make all the translations from Dutch, French and German and yesterday they were finally there .... Bye bye good mood .... We're ecstatic, over the moon so to say. The reviews were crazy and our adrenaline levels went through the roof.

The translations were also accompanied by a compilation of the best quotes of the latest and some of the older articles. Although we promised it to keep it a secret, we decided to cheat and post them all in our blog so we could share them with our friends . Don't tell anyone else though :-)

Hey and if you happen to have been to one of our concerts or you have had a chance to listen to our music, join the party and throw in your own quote into the mix in any language you prefer in a comment to this blog. Also if you have spotted a review we haven't seen yet .... send it to us!!!

Oh .... and if anyone knows someone who can repair our ceiling? We have been jumping up and down a bit too enthusiastic after reading all the good words and we noticed it left some holes and cracks in our ceiling :-)

So here it is:

Reviews ‘From Pieces Created’

Belgium

Stage Magazine, 9 out of 10 score

These five young guys bring modern heavy rock executed to perfection, somewhere halfway between the hard-Nickelback songs and the power of Disturbed .... If these guys can get the necessary support songs like 'This Time' or 'Saved From Falling " become real hits

Concreteweb , 90 out of 100

If this quintet would come from the USA or Great Britain for instance, I think they would already have been signed by a major record label. LastDayHere have more than enough potential to become an internationally well-known group, let’s hope the future will fulfill these promising thoughts

Rockstart Magazine

One always has to be cautious when comparing with other musicians , because most musicians want to be called unique. When listening to Marko Duplisak, I cannot avoid the comparison him being similar to Chad Kroeger of Nickelback. In fact, if these guys would have hit the charts before the Canadians, it would be the other way around. This comparison is only related to the voice though and not so much the way Marko sings, because he sings way better than Chad! A very professionally recorded album, the songs are driving, modern and well structured. The small country of Slovenia has an ace up its sleeve. Modern/Alternative Metal, which will surely also be to your likings

HardHarderHeavy.de, 6 out of 7 score

LastDayHere definitely do not have to hide themselves behind the likes of Godsmack or Sevendust. The band have only been around for 3 years, has endured several line-up changes and delivered this explosive album as their debut.  When you like modern melodic metal with strong drums, heavy and melodic riffs, breakdowns and mostly clear, but sometimes raw vocals, this album will give it all to you. This is how the band describes their music and it really hits the bull's eye and away from the usual clichés. This album convinces with a good production, not an instrument goes unheard. Really very good for a debut album

Powermetal.de

The foundation are beautiful, powerful, emotional melodies that invite you to relax and linger, while one is taken back again by juicy grooving riffs. Particularly good examples of this explosive mix are the catchy opener 'Burned Inside' (Hammer Chorus!) and the immersive 'Coming Alive'. Indeed LASTDAYHERE shows an astonishing maturity in terms of their compositions and the press kit does not lie when it states that "From Pieces Created" can easily match the  American standards for this genre.

Behind "From Pieces Created" hides a high-class modern-rock album, which can match itself with any of the releases of  STAIND, DISTURBED, or CREED. This is especially due to the vocals of singer Marko Duplisak, for his charismatic voice is of the no less in every way than any of the million-seller acts one finds in the US. His fellow musicians support him with an almost perfect solid foundation of heavy riffs and absolute tight rhythms.

Metal Paranoia Show

The melodies more appropriate for American and Canadian alternative rock/metal bands, result in a very interesting album, good result for both sound and production. Recommended by us who like alternative metal and tired of always the same

US

Twisted Hillbillies

What makes this band as a whole unique however, is the clarity and depth of the lyrics. The band approaches deep subjects with an strong intesity and an ability to pour soul and emotion into their music; they throw all their body out and expose their vulnerability while expressing rage, sadness, optimism and pessimism. With this the band holds both the ability to crush the alternative radio charts and still pound you with metal riffs

Uniqueness is something that is often lost in the music industry. Bands try to put their own "stamp" on the music they create, even if what they're doing has been done a thousand times before. The treat is when a band comes along and does something, that, though they bear similarities to what's come before them, they put enough of their own "stamp" on the formula or genre to say they're doing something new or unique. We have this treat when listening to LastDayHere.  LastDayHere has something that makes them stand out above the rest.  They combine all the right elements with such balance and style that makes you wonder just where they’ve come from.  LastDayHere are incredibly tight, they have a fresh, adrenaline pumping, sound of sheer quality and listenability of Rock Metal

Metal Express Radio, 7.5 out of 10

From Pieces Created sounds pretty good: it's hard to tell that this is an independently-recorded disc and not a major-label release. If you like Modern Metal, you'll probably enjoy LastDayHere's From Pieces Created. It's a solid collection of songs

Live reviews

Belgium

Stage Magazine, with Black Stone Cherry at Biebob, Vosselaar

(27-10-2009)

A decent filled Biebob welcomed Slovenian LastDayHere in a very cordial manner, despite hardly anyone present had any idea who these 5 youngsters were. With an explosive start they presented material from their debut CD "From Pieces Created" in a very exuberant and passionate way. ‘Burned Inside', 'Take Away' and 'This Time’ did more than excellent and after their show their merchandise stand had their hands full.

Germany

Metal.de, with Delain at the RockFabrik, Ludwigsburg (22-04-2009)

The young Slovenians hit the pedal as soon as they hit the stage and presented their best tracks of their album "From Pieces Created" in the limited time they were given. Everyone, and I mean every song was cheered and celebrated frenetically. Despite that until that evening, which became obvious when singer Marko asked if anyone had heard of LastDayHere before, not many in the audience seem to know their potential. Their engagement and energy that emanated from the stage found its reward in exuberant cheers and very frequent applause. The sound was excellent and the joy of the performance coming from the stage greatly inspired  by the feedback of the audience to a point where I started asking myself who was firing up who. The fact is that the music of LASTDAYHERE which lies somewhere between STAIND, GODSMACK, NICKELBACK (in a the heavier version) and CREED, really went down well.

Netherlands

Rockascene, with Delain at Tivoli De Helling, Utrecht (26-09-2009)

Singer Marko Duplisak made a very strong impression, is voice was to be heard clearly and powerful and easily matched the quality from the album. Together with the backing vocals of the guitar player it all sounded very good. This band is at least as good as their American counterparts who often dominate this genre and they left a very good impression this evening
