Former DGM guitarist Diego Reali is the man behind Hevidence, and on this sophomore album – first album “There’s Only Ten Left” was released under the Evidence banner in 2011 – he takes us back to his roots and throws everything into one big melting pot.
So we end up with an album with influences coming from melodic hard rock, indie and neo-classical metal… Might sound a bit strange, but it works surprisingly well. When the album kicks off with “Dig in the Night” you might get the idea that now your are in for a delightful symphonic power metal album with huge influences from Yngwie Malmsteen and Michael Romeo. But as the album progresses the melodic parts become more obvious and important, and we even get a solid portion of King’s X influences in “Out of this Time” before the album closes strong with the pure classical inspired guitar-piece “Note”.
“Nobody’s Fault” is actually better than it might sound and Diego Reali is a very strong and talented lead guitarist. An interesting and pleasantly different release from Frontiers Records.
Give it a listen…
