HEVIDENCE NOBODY'S FAULT ALBUM REVIEW

​

Flavoured with heavy metal, prog and power metal sounds the debut album by Hevidence incorporates all the best elements of neo-classical rock and melodic power metal. The band's founder, guitarist Diego Reali has spent time playing a variety of different genres but came back to his love for rock and metal. The title track Nobody's Fault has a feel of Europe and Toto with bold riffs, bluesy vocals and plenty and some fine musicianship.

Ave Maria brings in the Italian Catholic heritage, commencing with a choral style opening before launching into a frenzy of guitars work and a tumultuous drum work. It's a full-scale stadium sound incorporating the idea of 'religious experiences' for audiences and the band. Corrado Quoiani's vocals are softly melodic but have the power of rock greats like Paul Rodgers.

​

There's plenty of different fusions of styles here too, no two tracks are the same. Overdrive is more traditional pop-rock whereas Out Of This Time has more of a Hendrix style rock vibe with solid chords and muffled solos. Note adds the classical feel with a staccato electric guitar serenading, it's a beautifully structured track with guitar descants. The band really flourish with this neo-classical sound, part Genesis part Sky, it would certainly be interesting to hear them explore more of this style.

​

A really promising debut from another terrific Euro rock band.
