Rock-Metal-Essence – 87/100 – When Darkness Calls Album Review

We could not let it slip away in 2012 without mentioning the project heavy / power metal Reverence and his debut album When Darkness Calls , released in May for the Razar Ice Records .Also because names such as Todd Michael Hall , Bryan Holland , Steve “Dr. Killdrums” Wacholz , Ned Meloni and Pete Rossi , housed under the same moniker, is not found every day ..

In fact, the result is Bombastico as few this year! Earthquake grit and adrenaline, the album combined with absolute taste the different influences of these musicians, resulting in a perfect conubio between styles of heavy metal giants such as Savatage, Tokyo Blade, Crimson Glory and Jack Starr’s Burning Starr. The pace is extremely urgent, the power emitted by the instruments is devastating and, in spite of the fact the disc does not invent anything new, and indeed is firmly anchored to the canons guy like U.S. metal, originality and variety are commonplace here days. Bryan Holland and Pete Smith guitars are without a doubt the main architects of the great success of this project. Their riffing, a little ‘solid whole a bit’ split magic, he always manages to smell like classic style and sounds, scratching and wounding the listener with steps and sharp bursts of energy metal really top notch. And then the solos, lightning and swirling, rising even more value compelssivo work the ropes, which is still perfectly supported by a rhythm section certainly important, crowned by a very good job of groove Kruckel Frank on bass, but mainly by performance on the altar of the God of Heavy Metal Steve Wacholz (former Savatage) hides and skins, rocky and at the same time as surgery a few. 

A nothing would be, however, a superlative performance tools if there was a voice on the ball to throw high in the heavens this music. And then Todd Michael Hall as the best of the cowboy, grab the reins of these songs and tamed with anger, singing with a quality perhaps never heard before in his career and so ragalandoci a super test by extension, charisma and technique. All this, combined with a production made up of sounds definitely makes When Darkness Calls a thick disc and relevance to the metal scene today. What a bombshell! 

POOR IN WORDS .. 

Among hard to have and to remember the 2012 shines the name of Reverence and their When Darkness Calls . A hard heavy metal American-style old-fashioned and certainly enhanced by good evidence of the big names who have played and the first designed. Needless to say, we claim all a second chapter in 2013, because a tank like this album-it is impossible not to come out strongly dependent .
