Prolific New Zealand alt-rock musician Lorenzo Hazelwood adds another impressive track to his solo musical repertoire.

Auckland-based artist Lorenzo Hazelwood impresses once again with his latest solo effort Shadows, a welcome addition to a steady streak of stellar material from this young post-grunge rock singer.

Mostly known as lead singer for hard rock band Close To The Bone, with his solo recordings Lorenzo brings forth a more personal listening experience with his darkly sombre acoustic rock ballads.

Storming track Shadows showcases Lorenzo’s emotive but warm and rugged vocals, set against a mega-combination of sonic guitar sounds that deliver a raw, crunchy riff-laden tune held down with a heavy, growling bass and driving drum track.

Recorded with the support of NZ On Air, Lorenzo once again enlisted trusted producer Scott Seabright to be at the helm, in order to capture Lorenzo’s bold vocal and edgy alt-rock feel, without losing its catchy, radio-friendly hook.

The collective effort achieved that aim with the studio line-up of drummer Adam Tobeck, bassist Dan Antunovich, and Close To The Bone guitarist Oscar Millar adding lead guitar.

Inhabiting and creating a world inspired by the grunge era, Lorenzo’s music harks back to the days when dark, muscular rock was king, and big, solid, riff-heavy sounds ruled the airwaves.

With Shadows, Lorenzo brings those elements of a heavy, sonic hard-driving sound back to life, and our rock-hungry ears.

Listen out for Lorenzo Hazelwood’s next EP, Vol. 3, due out later this year.
