BAND ATHLANTIS

ALBUM 02.02.2020

LABEL DIAMOND PROD

OUT 2/2/2020

PICS’ FORMAT CD

OUR RATING 88/100

Formed in 2003 in Italy by STEVE VAWAMAS are well-known on our pages.

Now they are ready with their 6th full-lenght entitled 02.02.2020 just like the release date of the platter.

The new line up consists of STEVE VAWAMAS, PIER GONELLA on guitars, DAVIDE DELL’ORTO (Drakkar) on vocals, STEFANO MOLINARI on keys ad CHRIS PARISI on drums.

An album that we had the chance to appreciate in preview.

After an intro, LIFE IN YOUR HAND, starts with a mad run, cutting keyboards and roaring bass; solos are divided between guitar and keyboards, in the best tradition.

To remark, and it will be a trademark of the album, the vocals of DAVIDE DELL’ORTO, deep and grandiloquent.

LIGHT OF LOVE is a great hard rock shot with maiden’s drops at times and guitar’s solo leaves everyone speechless.

Really unique DANCING SHADOWS, while FIRE AND ICE is a solid classic metal song, supported by drums clearly present.

If THE FLY OF THE EAGLE is another great

of heavy rock not too fast in the first slice, in the second one sound changes and becomes heavier.

Enjoyable the next ...ANCHE QUESTO E’ ROCK’N’ROLL, while WORDS ARE WEAPONS maybe is not winning us over.

Last two songs are SOMEDAY LOVE WILL..., where vocals are real starring, and the title track, enriched by a spectacular solo.

TO SUGGEST!! NO DOUBT!!!
