Alien Sweetheart, the third album from Belgian rockers Zornik, arrived in 2005 on Parlophone/EMI Belgium, and it's the sound of a band that had long outgrown the rock-contest stage where the label first spotted it. Singer and guitarist Koen Buyse, who founded the group in 1999, co-produced it with Phil Vinall, and the sessions ran at Motormusic in Koningshooikt with extra work at Z-Rooms in Zonhoven. Davy Deckmijn, who took over the drum stool in 2001, is behind the kit.
The songs trade in big, brooding guitars and choruses cut for festival fields, with Buyse's voice pushing hard against the wall of sound. "I Feel Alright" led the charge and reached number 38 on the Flemish singles chart, "Keep Me Down" followed, and the album climbed to number 3 on the Flemish albums chart. It sits between One Armed Bandit and Crosses in the band's catalog.
