The debut full-length album by Italian Symphonic/Gothic Metal band.
Although the band may consider themselves Gothic Metal, "Deadalum" shows them to be more of a Symphonic Metal act with Gothic elements. They follow in the same vein of bands like Delain, Within Temptation and Leaves’ Eyes. Imagine all these bands mixed with Evanescence and Lacuna Coil, and then you get Revenience.
Their first full-length album is a very strong effort from the band. It’s a short but sweet album with 9 interesting songs on offer here. "Deadalum" is an enjoyable enough album. You can seriously feel the passion and the chemistry between the band and what’s even better is that they actually manage to make music that moves you such as the piano ballad, "Lone Island". There is also an incredible display of guitar work on here with lots of intricate riffs and ferocious shredding. And If you’re a fan of the classic Symphonic Metal acts like Nightwish or the more obscure Gothic Metal bands like Sirenia then you will more than likely appeal to you. This is a good release, not great but it has some very good elements and a singer that proves that she is there because of her talent before anything else.
Revenience are a nice surprise and something to lookout for in the near future!
