Revoltons - 386 High Street North: Come Back to Eternity (2012)

Revoltons - 386 High Street North: Come Back to Eternity

Revoltons are not new to the Italian metal scene. They have been around since 1991. The driving force behind the band, after all these years, is the Crorona brothers. Releasing, auspiciously, their 4th album, it’s kinda noticeable that a fresh air is blowing on the band’s camp. That’s also due to the new drummer, Elvis “El Chino” Ortolan (ex-Elvenking).
Revoltons’ heavy metal music with various power, prog and atmospheric passages is quite appealing. The album needs several spins as it has a pretty rich background. The guys have done a very good job, as the acoustic guitars, the melodies and the heavy parts are nicely blended together. The songs have strong refrains & powerful yet heavy but tuneful arrangements. There are some guest musicians appearing on the CD such as: Aydan (Elvenking) on 2nd guitar solo on “Jeremy Bentham”, Giovanni “Scoot” Venier on additional vocals on “Blood of Skynet”, Fabrizio Cenci (Headquakes) on piano on “The Ancient Dragon”, Francesca Sanavro on female vocals on “Souffle De Vie” & “Chameleon”, Alex Scarli (Revoltons’ original bassist) on bass on “Chameleon” and “Space and Time Reflex” & Gianni Rui on background vocals. The production is quite dynamic and sorta sharp. The album was recorded, mixed & mastered by Matt Corona at Missed Track Studios & produced by both Matt and Alex. The last song “Space and Time Reflex” is an unreleased track from the “Lost Remembrance” album.
I am glad to have played this CD quite a few times or else I would have lost some noteworthy pieces that are revealing the pleasant side of this work. It’s obvious that the band had a great time while writing and recording this album and that’s all over the final outcome. Surely, we’re talking about the band’s finest moment to date… but I believe that they do have more to offer in the next years. Nonetheless, “386 High Street North-Come Back To Eternity” will please the metal fans that like their metal mixed up with fine melodies and atmospheric touches. A video for the song “Come Back to Eternity” will be released in the next days so keep your eyes peeled. A well-designed 16-page booklet, with photos & lyrics, also accompanies this CD… just a hint for those that still like to get the real thing on their hands rather than a file on a pc.
