Sandalinas is a Spanish guitar player who went to the Conservatory of Music in Spain and the New Milford Conservatory of Music in the USA. He is the mind behind the band, something easily recognizable already by the strange and rather unmetallic bandname. Usually, albums from projects of guitarists tend to put musical craftmanship before compository skills, and if you are not a real guitar aficionado, many have a tendency to become quite boring after a few spins, or even worse: after a few songs. The opening title track is exactly a song you would expect from such an album: up-tempo, good melody, the stuff genre connoisseurs love. The compositions are somewhere in-between Rainbow or Axel Rudi Pell, Jorn Lande or Masterplan and, due to the voice, At Vance.

Their sophomore release Fly To The Sun lacks all of the keyboard gimmicks of the Swedish outfit in question, and the subjects of the songs are a little less flowery, and the riff work has a little bit of a doom element that occasionally emulates early 90s Black Sabbath. Anyone who wonders what I’m talking about when listening to the more power metal oriented songs on here can refer to Ring Of Fire or No Matter What to get a good idea of where I’m coming from, particularly the former with that muddy, low end principle riff that definitely flirts with Candlemass territory.

Sandalinas is a Spanish/Swedish progressive metal band founded in 2001 by guitarist Jordi Sandalinas, featuring Rick Altzi on vocals (also with Masterplan and At Vance). Apollo Papathanasio, ex-Firewind and Spiritual Beggars sang on the band's debut album called Living on the Edge. Their first album, Living on the Edge, was produced by Andy LaRocque and released in 2005. The band is on hiatus because Jordi Sandalinas is working on his first solo album.
