█ Six years in the making ôUndeniableö is the █
█ culmination of hard work, blood, sweat and tears. █
█ Rewind to 2002: the Melodic Rock community is █
█ taken by storm by the debut album of a new band █
█ named Mecca. Formed by vocalist Joe Vana, he █
█ enlisted, among others, the services of former █
█ Toto members David Hungate (bass) and Fergie █
█ Frederiksen on vocals and close friend and former █
█ Survivor founding member Jim Peterik, who █
█ contributed masterfully to the songwriting and █
█ production of the album. █
█ █
█ ôMeccaö created a sonic treasure bringing the █
█ energy to drive diamond hard rockers and the █
█ finesse to create lush power ballads, all with the █
█ texture that, until now, only super-groups such as █
█ Journey, Toto or Foreigner could provide. Amazing █
█ press responses blessed the albumÆs release and █
█ Joe Vana soon started putting together plans for a █
█ follow up album. █
█ █
█ Songwriting started in 2005 between Vana and █
█ Swedish guitarist Christian Wolff. In 2007 things █
█ really took a ground breaking turn with the █
█ songwriting masterpieces that Vana wrote with █
█ Swedish Producer/Song Writer/Guitarist Tommy █
█ Denander. According to Vana ôThe writing synergy █
█ between Tommy and I has been amazing, we think so █
█ much alike in terms of melody and space but sounds █
█ very different melodically than what we both have █
█ done separately, so it truly is a union of █
█ ideas...ö. The musical direction soon showed that █
█ new heights in Melodic Rock music could be █
█ reached. █
█ █
█ Several problems created bumps in the road, █
█ including the death of Vana's longtime friend and █
█ co-producer / engineer Bryan Mitchell which made █
█ the completion of the recording process extremely █
█ slow. Vana continued charging forward, enlisting █
█ the talents of session masters such as Pat █
█ Mastellotto (King Crimson, Mr Mister), Tony Levin █
█ (Peter Gabriel, King Crimson), along with Denander █
█ and Wolff. His core band was also created around █
█ Rick Vitek on drums, Brian Moritz on keyboards, █
█ Wally Hustin on bass, Eric Ragno on keyboards, █
█ Mark Alano on guitar and JoeÆs ace in the █
█ hole....his son Joey on guitars and backing █
█ vocals. █
█ █
█ Fast forward to 2011. Mecca II ôUndeniableö is █
█ finally completed and delivered. The results are █
█ breathtaking. An album which perfectly melts the █
█ outstanding High-Tech AOR approach of Mr. MisterÆs █
█ ôWelcome to the Real Worldö to the commercial █
█ sheer brilliance of TotoÆs ôThe Seventh Oneö. Oh █
█ and... the good news is that Mecca III is █
█ underway! █
█ █
█ If Mecca I was born to unveil the treasures of the █
█ Melodic Rock genre to the unsuspecting public, █
█ then Mecca II ôUndeniableö sets in stone the █
█ gospel of this music with stunning arrangements █
█ and unbelievable melodies. Mecca is now here to █
█ stay....get converted to their music!!! █
