D’ERCOLE – Near Death Experience (2024) *HQ*

Album after album, D’ERCOLE showcases improvement in the songwriting & technical department, and prove to be able to deliver quality melodic hard rock, sometimes mixed with a dash of progressive influences.
Released today, ”Near Death Experience” is the new album from the band founded by brothers D’Ercole, including Phil Vincent on vocals, and Vince O’Regan precise guitar solos. At first listen it’s clear this is the most complete work from the band, and the best produced. Indeed, D’ERCOLE gets better and better.
The guitars never were that massive, multi-tracked as on this new effort. There’s vibrant hard rockers, some melodic catchy numbers, and a couple of progressive tinged tracks. Additionally the band does a cover of Uriah Heep’s ‘Stealin’’ (written by Ken Hensley), providing a classic rock touch to this varied yet cohesive new album.

For usual D’Ercole foot stomping, air guitar slinging tracks just push play on opener ‘Lone Survivor’, ‘Until It’s Gone’ or ‘Turn Back Now’. For the rockers with a progressive development check out ‘Holy Ground’ and ‘Cryin’ Over You’. All well thought, arranged and performed songs.
As said, ”Near Death Experience” is a big step forward for D’ERCOLE, from songwriting to production. And it’s a very entertaining CD.
