Reverence – When Darkness Calls
(Translated from Czech)
A bit disgruntled Savatage? That, at least, I have been the first notes of the album “When Darkenss Falls” Reverence Detroit. This impression helped lure advertising (which did not direct any listeners exactly), indicating that in the ranks of the band after more than a studio without desetiletce write reports about their place in the sun former Savatage drummer (or maybe Crimson Glory) Steve “Doc” Wacholz . And although the name of this legendary band still encounter, it’s not the most important directional signs, which should enable us to navigate directly to the essence of his dignity.
By itself, this smacks a little club assembly inconspicuous all-star. Besides the aforementioned Doc is copyright tandem Bryan Holland, a guitarist who chased his instrument in the ranks of Tokyo Blade and čtyřoktávový loudmouth Todd Michael Hall, best known from cooperation with Jack Starr’s Burning in Starr. Group added another bassist Ned Meloni (Jack Starr’s Burning Starr, Phantom Lord, Guardians Of The Flame and the guitarist (the band members from the relatively less known but more important) Pete Ross.
And what do we actually operate Reverence for the music? The base is very well played power metal in a typically austere and straightforward American style, nerozpakující to cross boundaries heavy and thrash metal. All this back and forth becomingly adorn attractive (she wants to tell me to evropowermetalovou) melodies, occasionally spiced with exciting and dramatic (here’s the similarity with Savatage and colorful style and neposedným Cris Olives) guitar playing, occasionally commuting to stereotyping and lack of catchy ideas, oscillating back and forth at the edge due to the extreme position poslouchatelnosti tense vocal cords Todd Hall. In short, interesting and intense album, which on the one hand, benefited small portion of self-censorship, and which on the other hand, offers a slick lashes so that they could successfully run a place of honor in some ways hit metal choice.
In terms of ease of capture listeners are the two most successful hooks located just at the beginning of the board. Atmospheric input tense that systematically thickens until the very end song brisk and aggressive riffs, great solo, intense choruses and a little hysterical, despite compelling vocals, this is the opening credits. The following “Bleed For Me” then you can remember the best moments of Angel Dust in a beautifully tahavé refrénové arcade, enjoy Todd’s jumbled phrasing, delivering dramatic composition, and peeping excellent guitar that dominance in heavily seconded Corps, famously Todd recording the smash. Stress of a further forgive myself for “Too Late”, which thanks to the guitars are among the most interesting on the board (with Todd’s pushing too far too high), dramatically šlapavou “hrozičskou” Anthem “The Price You Pay” or eruptive climax melodic chorus in “Revolution Rising”, the magic of his vocals in a peaceful civilian position performs a slow Todd “After The Leaves Have Fallen”.
Bothers me a bit of exhibitionism Todd Hall, which, however, amply compensates for the perfect symbiosis of excellent guitars. When you focus on the moment when Todd delaying their theatrical mannerisms and boys to join some of his pungent rich and well done ideas (and those moments on “When Darkenss Falls” is definitely not enough), I’m sure you will want this album some time přendávat the player on the shelf.
