Crossfire Metal – 8/10 – When Darkness Calls Album Review

And again makes a newly formed “supergroup” talking point, under the name of Reverence deliver guitarist Bryan Holland (Tokyo Blade) and vocalist Todd Michael Hall (Burning Starr) with drummer Steve Wacholz (ex-Savatage / Crimson Glory), the second guitarist Pete Rossi and bassist Ned Meloni which Frank Kruckel (Tokyo Blade) has gradually replaced the CD-rehearsed, a successful power or heavy metal album from. Even the quiet beginning opener and title track is convincing due to the variable singing design and heavy riffs perfectly. In the strong rocker “Bleed For Me” then the guys go a bit faster to the point. The rapid “Phantom Lord” and the rhythmic, but too static acting “Devil In Disguise” however can not maintain the level. “Too Late” is impressive turn by a successful guitar and vocal performance, before “gatekeeper” for headbanging inviting. After the stomper “The Price You Pray” so so pops out of the speakers, gives us the rhythm Stressed “Monster”, a little breather. Closes after the powerful “Revolution Rising” the halbballadeske and quite moody “After The Leaves Have Fallen”, this can be a little reminiscent of the style of the eighties concoction, which are offered in a contemporary design, and not be regarded as plagiarism.
