Well… this band is surely a pleasant
surprise…catchy… melodic… crunchy…
Okay let’s take it from the start and I can do this very short. This
album rocks, boys and girls!
What we have here is a Swedish band formed in
early 2006 and this is their debut album simply
called “Evergrace”. Who
hears this name most probably first thinks about Progressive Metal or
Modern Metal or something like that.
But in this case we are talking crunchy, yet melodic metal. To me Evergrace
is a mix between bands like Tad
Morose and Nocturnal Rites.
Melodic
Metal it is what the band offers us here, but don’t worry… the
guitars are heavy and crunchy at the same time. I was almost hooked
immediately… and after 2-3 spins in my CD-player I was convinced that this
band could make it out there.
The
opener "The Escape”" already sets out in fashion, with
crunchy guitars, straight rhythm, and a catchy and memorable chorus
setting the pace right away. Evergrace continues to deliver the goods
and we get 10 songs of first class Melodic Metal and as mentioned above;
- Style and sound wise I find them
somewhere between Tad Morose and
Nocturnal Rites.
If
you feel some appeal to the given style description, than I can
absolutely recommend this debut album
from this Swedish band called Evergrace
without reservations. This album
comes with a crystal clear production by executive producer Emil
Westerdahl and the cover artwork is done by the very talented Mattias
Norén.
