When Darkness Calls
Author:

Americans Reverence, we offer a good PowerMetal style ’80s / ’90s. Clear voice and style of the band in general leads us to recall thick band that have made the history of that period. Halloween, Cinderella, Stryper, vague references also to the sacred monsters of Iron Maiden, and the like. “When darkness calls” this is the name of the CD that the band released the “Razar Ice Records”, a period of forty-nine minutes, where the power of the instruments blend so well to clean the rumor that everything is all ‘Listening powerful light without ever tiring the listener. All eleven tracks are very nice especially “Phantom Road” has a fine calvacata played by the perfect harmony between the guitars and rhythm section. To tell the truth, the vocalist has a voice very Stryper Halloween and therefore nothing new but in the context fits very well. Also good part of the classical choirs in these genres, songs that you can listen on multiple occasions for each song. For the duration of the CD there is a moment’s pause traveling at the highest level and the band technically not miss a beat. The track number ten, the penultimate, “After the leaves have fallen,” is the only song where the band takes a break with a good slow to clean guitars characterized in the central part of un’accellerata medium-high with the voice the lyrical thread. The Reverence, I want to close the great how they started and they do it well proposing “Vengeance Is Mine” a powerful ride that will lead definitely on the right track.
