Recently, several former members of some well-known metal bands made with the formation of a new band the talk of: Reverence should be called the baby and former staff members of Savatage , Tokyo Blade , Crimson Glory , Harlot and Jack Starr’s Burning Starr unite. Guitar wizard Bryan Holland (including Tokyo Blade) and vocalist Todd Michael Hall (including Burning Starr, Harlet) were complemented by the Savatage co-founder and later Crimson Glory drummer Steve Wacholz,brought still Pete Rossi were on the second guitar and Bryan’s old pal Tokyo Blade Frank Kruckel to the woofer (this, however, has passed after loading the CD because of maternity leave, the bass to Ned Meloni, who now operates his part as a permanent member of the band). Quick was the quintet from the Motor City Detroit to find in the studio, and before the publication of an acclaimed appetizer circulating in the network. And now it has happened, the darkness calls for Community Listening finest Power Metal: “When Darkness Calls” is on the table, at least the cover, the rest is in the player. Measly 50 minutes we should listen to its mixture of heavy and power metal. Eleven songs bludgeon fast riffs and lusty double bass really rough on the ears. Already the opener “When Darkness Calls” might mighty steam, even has a little something Thrashiges. About the heavy riff sets the shouterTodd Michael Hall, a variable highly vocal line, the whole diversity manifested until later in the disc.For me, the first track is already directly out tip. “Bleed For Me” then has been rather components of the pure power metal on, polyphonic chorus, fast solos and so on, and so on. But, I’m just saying that we find parts of one or the other genre. Bottom line, it all reminds of the eighties, but refreshingly modern nuances, not just simply replayed from earlier, not nearly.
Next, the guys come with the fast track “Phantom Road” steeply out of the bushes, riffgeladen and full of fine solos. Like much of the album, this song lives on the ostensibly dominant guitars and vocals. But not now that anyone thinks the rhythm section would be negligible. The example comes from “Devil In Disguise” or a little later, “Monster” at the beginning again full effect before us again has the full package, which also accounts for the rest of the program as clear as it gets. For the other songs are just as dirty in almost in-your-face attitude, with strong guitar work, crunchy and yet very melodic and all. From faster troop All, except one, for “After The Leaves Have Fallen” is in sharp decline in the pace, drifts into ballads embodiments – the melancholy song title that’s no surprise.
The boys have moved out of Reverence for – all in the name – their models of
Judas Priest , Savatage or Queensrÿche to prove just this, the homage. But, and I repeat myself for once liked, it will put great emphasis on this particular unique sound that makes them far from colleagues are as zu Guttenberg and his cohorts. And I can not wait (yes, Bryan Holland has told me that you are going to plan a European tour), these guys with their cool ass-kicker Mucke here to see us on stage. And I really want to have as a T-shirt with the cover of the disc. And now I press the repeat button. Line-up:
Todd Michael Hall (vocals)
Bryan Holland (guitars)
Frank Kruckel (bass)
Pete Rossi (guitar)
Steve Wacholz (drums)
