│║ ║ │
│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The End Of Time is the debut release from ║ │
│║ Brazilian heavy/power upstarts Hevilan. Their ║ │
│║ style is a chugging, abrasive stab at the genre; ║ │
│║ with lower tuned guitars leading the charge, ║ │
│║ adorned with gruff mid-range vocals which remind ║ │
│║ me of Kelly Carpenter or Tim Owens at their most ║ │
│║ venomous. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Kicking off the show with ôRegenisisö, Hevilan ║ │
│║ delivers an experience not too dissimilar from ║ │
│║ Arch EnemyÆs ôEnemy Withinö: driving rhythms ║ │
│║ propel an atypical open string style riff which, ║ │
│║ after a couple of measures, is driven further ║ │
│║ forward via some double kicking û not before the ║ │
│║ band settle into a grooving, almost Outworld ║ │
│║ style verse. The chorus on this one is massive, ║ │
│║ and the track as a whole sets up The End Of ║ │
│║ Time, coming off as one of those opening tracks ║ │
│║ which not only defines the album, but the sound ║ │
│║ of the band. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ From this point onwards Hevilan are almost ║ │
│║ unforgiving in their approach. They adopt an ║ │
│║ almost modern thrash approach, which is ║ │
│║ particularly evident when the band charges the ║ │
│║ jugular. The arrangement and vocal performance ║ │
│║ are the main factors which keep Hevilan in check ║ │
│║ with their power metal contemporaries; although ║ │
│║ in saying that, outside of the choruses, the ║ │
│║ vocals can get a little vitriolic. Whilst I ║ │
│║ commend them for their pugilistic approach, some ║ │
│║ of the lower ended guitar riffs come across a ║ │
│║ little dumb, with a distinct modern vibe that ║ │
│║ doesnÆt sit too well with me. I also think it ║ │
│║ belies their talents, as for each uninspiring ║ │
│║ chug attack is a well articulated, fully fleshed ║ │
│║ out section. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Thankfully, Hevilan include suitable dynamics on ║ │
│║ the The End Of Time, which keeps this from ║ │
│║ becoming an incessant bludgeon. This is notable, ║ │
│║ particularly around the middle of the album, ║ │
│║ where some acoustic guitars and varying tempo ║ │
│║ changes are added to good effect, providing ║ │
│║ areas of respite amongst varying levels of ║ │
│║ technicality and hammering. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ For the most part Hevilan have put an ║ │
│║ undoubtedly solid debut affair. If I had to pick ║ │
│║ one band they really reminded me of it would be ║ │
│║ Outworld, although I donÆt think The End Of Time ║ │
│║ is as well written or as enjoyable as the ║ │
│║ Outworld debut. I appreciate their approach, and ║ │
│║ the whole album comes off as a veritable blend ║ │
│║ of the power, prog, thrash, and straight up ║ │
│║ heavy genres. Whilst some of the chug, chug, ║ │
│║ pinch harmonic riffs feel a little beneath their ║ │
│║ potential, the overall sum is far greater than ║ │
│║ that of the individual parts. If youÆre in the ║ │
│║ market for some coarse, technical power metal ║ │
│║ then Hevilan are well worth a look in. ║ │
