DEVICIOUS – Phase Three [Limited Digipak Edition +1] (2020)
Delayed due the well known event out there, the soon to be released “Phase Three” is the third album from German-based international Melodic Rock band DEVICIOUS. This is the first record to feature new lead vocalist Antonio Calanna, an effort more biting and rocking than their previous works, still catchy and plenty of infectious AOR choruses.
Kicking off with the hard-driving “Firefly”, it still features the signature lush vocal harmonies and big hook chorus, but Calanna’s vocals are more aggressive than his predecessor.
Up next is “Mysterious”, which starts off with a syncopated intro, before settling into a twisted, effective melodic hard rocker.
“Pouring Rain” has a bit groovier tempo, then “Walk Through Fire” shifts gears again, some kind of epic melodic hard with AOR melody, giving the song a dramatic feel. A highlight.
“Phase Three” is an excellent modern melodic hard record. Every track is skilfully arranged, with slick performances and really good production value. More rocking than never before, all tracks features DeVicious trademark hooks, thick vocal choruses, and great performances across the board.
Seriously, no filler, very strong songwriting from these guys. Each track has something different to offer, and there are a variety of flavors within the Melodic Rock genre, very welcomed.
DeVicious is currently one of the best modern Melodic Rock acts out there, and this new album is very, VERY RECOMMENDED
