Mike Masser
5
Mike Masser has never been the kind of artist to sit still and after four years away from the spotlight, he returns with a brand new album '5', a record that feels less like a reintroduction and more like a continuation of unfinished business.
Masser comes out swinging with an awesomely thick guitar tone that feels which is unrelenting carrying the songs with a raw edge that keeps the album grounded. His vocals are direct and unfiltered cutting straight through the mix. There’s no compromise here either with every track built to be played loud, its the kind of music that easily fills a room before you even notice you’ve turned the volume up.

This is an independent project and that definitely helps it to stand. Masser has taken on the everything from writing, playing, and much of the production himself, giving the record a singular focus. It feels personal.
For fans of modern hard rock, 5 is not about nostalgia or revival. It’s about presence. Masser has stepped forward again, and he’s made sure the sound can’t be ignored. The album is out right now so be sure to check it out.
