The dictionary defines the word thus Reverence, quote: “I respect or veneration is a person or thing” and “body lean a sign of respect, reverence or courtesy” Why start this review with grammatical definitions? In the words of guitarist Bryan Holland the band name “Classic meets the spirit of the eighties metal, we grew and we worship, hence the name, the reverence of metal”
After this short introduction to the name of the band, their debut album When Darkness Calls can be seen and heard from two sides concrete, a disc with clearly eighties melodies and the debut of a band with fresh style, itself, far from being a mere project in which its members work only in his spare time, if we look at the impressive resume of its members, such as Steve “Doc” Wacholz on drums, Pete Rossi, the aforementioned Bryan Holland on guitars,Todd Michael Hall in the voice and finally Ned Meloni wielding bass, names like Tokyo Blade, Burning Starr, Savatage, Crimson Glory, Devil Childe, Guardians of the Flame, Phantom Lord and Rhed Asphalt, endorsements are the magnificent experience letter.
I get the promo on August 6 with very good references, and a week after leaving, to run it on my computer with the bugles at full power, the electricity that runs your body feature to listen to good music is the appropriate signal to assert “The album is the shit” Michael Todd’s voice reminded me in places, in tone sharp characteristic of power metal and remembered our beloved Ronnie James Dio, perhaps for some dislike the comparison, and they do not appear boot expressions like “this guy went crazy” when they hear what I say will notice, a cocktail between the new and the old, something like a base to Judas Priest, Queensryche pinch in its infancy, we add to the mix a Dio-eighties to end Savatage like the cherry on the cake, is not it delicious?. Recording sound well maintained with clean, spotless, excellent execution, allowing separate, with the necessary care, each instrument, the time it took to write, compose and correct the LP give the likes of musical professionalism worthy by Sight16 Studios , in charge of remastering.
As a curious formation enters the studio on 11/11/11, a date commemorating the terrorist attacks in New York, alongside a guy with insane delusion acute attacks launched the rumor that a date was “dangerous”, “satanic” and other bullshit own cults and religious sects, with the sole purpose of attracting attention.
