It is often said that passion manages to hide and, why not, to break down even the most impervious obstacles, thus allowing to reach the set goal; Sometimes, however, the commitment and ardor are not enough to smooth out some basic limits which, in fact, affect the final result of the work.
This is precisely the case of the third work on the long distance of the Evilizers, Piedmontese bands whose mission to dispense the most granite and massive heavy metal from 2017. Led by the singer Fabio Attack, the tricolor quintet was back from the exciting “Solar Quake”, released four years ago, in which he had managed to show a certain versatility of intent, thus detaching himself by the embankment. 'Priestiana' label that had somehow marked them up to that moment.
The new “Lord of the Lost Souls” was therefore called to confirm the goodness of “Solar Quake”, accompanied by the fateful responsibility by 'Third album', historically seen as a focal point of a band's path. So what's that it doesn't work completely in the new full-length?
However, we start from the positive notes, which reward the instrumental sector without a shadow of a doubt. There was talk of total devotion to the classic metal, together with its more rocky and catchy forms: characteristics well present in the riffs released by the couple formed by Fabio Novarese and Emanuele de Bernardi, who, not disdaining to insert more melodic and sinuous detachments, reinforce the rhythm ficcanti imposed by Alessio Scarve (low) and Giulio Murgia (battery), so as to guarantee a double. track of intensity and harmony. In this sense “Rise up”, “No Return” and “Scanners” certify the work of the four musicians.
To add further vigor to the proposal of the Evilizers we think of songs such as “Goddess of Pain” and “All Is Gone”: if the first adds more dark and evil ideas, approaching the perimeter traced by the eternal Death SS in its own way, the second exposes itself as a melancholy ballad, in which, again, the good work is revealed.
The other side of the medal unfortunately concerns the performance behind the microphone of the same attack: if, in fact, in the previous album he had led out of a certain security in juggling the various shades, in “Lord of the Lost Souls”, the Piedmontese frontman seems to have lost the compass about the correct stamp to be used, often resulting out of the axis compared to the load -bearing plot of the song – as if it were perpetually looking for the right intonation, leading to the right intonation, Sometimes even some discrepancy at a metric level.
A vocal criticality that therefore weighs on the global outcome of “Lord of the Lost Souls” and on this third work of the Evilizers.
