Rating : You Decide! ║ │ │║ Album : Divak Label : EAR Music ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Description : ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Jeff Scott Soto is one of the best hardrock and ║ │ │║ metal singer. No doubt. The guy from New York ║ │ │║ can look back on great cooperations he did with ║ │ │║ guitar wizards such as Yngwie Malmsteen, Axel ║ │ │║ Rudi Pell and Brian May. But also his ║ │ │║ contribution to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra was ║ │ │║ a real highlight and stays unforgotten. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ It was in 2015 when the singer with the awesome ║ │ │║ voice started something new under the banner of ║ │ │║ Soto. "Insight the Vertigo" was the first album ║ │ │║ and I was surprised about the heaviness of this ║ │ │║ release. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ One year later the iconic singer publishs his ║ │ │║ second longplayer that continues the heavy trip, ║ │ │║ that was kicked off by "Insight the Vertigo". ║ │ │║ "Divak" is the name giver for this album and ║ │ │║ it's also the first song on this record. But ║ │ │║ instead of being a 'real' number it's a ║ │ │║ bombastic intro, followed by "Weight of the ║ │ │║ World". Listening to this song clearly states, ║ │ │║ that this disc isn't containing softened ║ │ │║ hardrock. "Divak" is heavy and powerful with the ║ │ │║ opener acting as a first statement. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ "Freak Show" comes next, a track that was chosen ║ │ │║ to be the first single release for the new ║ │ │║ longplayer. The song has a really good chorus, ║ │ │║ but comes also with a certain complexity. It ║ │ │║ took me a few rounds to discover the full joy of ║ │ │║ the "Freak Show". ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ In case you want it a bit slower and more ║ │ │║ soulful you should check out "In My Darkest ║ │ │║ Hour". This powerful half ballad is a highlight ║ │ │║ on "Divak". After such a laid-back moment it's ║ │ │║ time for some more rock. "Suckerpunch" has an ║ │ │║ alternative rock/metal expression before the ║ │ │║ mighty "Time" takes over. Even though the chorus ║ │ │║ is again quite catchy the song comes with a ║ │ │║ gloomy vibe and slowly rolls over you. I would ║ │ │║ say that Southern metal meets hardrock. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ The album has with "Cyper Masquerade" and ║ │ │║ "Unblame" also two tunes that can't live up to ║ │ │║ the high level of the rest of "Divak". However, ║ │ │║ all the other tracks can easily compensate for ║ │ │║ this and in the end Soto releases a melodic ║ │ │║ metal album that, already based on his voice, ║ │ │║ can easily compete with other releases in this ║ │ │║ genre. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ But one question remains: Who or what is ║ │ │║ 'Divak'? ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Divak Intro [01:57] │ │ 02 - Weight Of The World [03:47] │ │ 03 - Freakshow [04:46] │ │ 04 - Paranoia [04:23] │ │ 05 - Unblame [03:59] │ │ 06 - Cyber Masquerade [03:20] │ │ 07 - In My Darkest Hour [06:32] │ │ 08 - Forgotten [04:08] │ │ 09 - Suckerpunch [04:01] │ │ 10 - Time [04:51] │ │ 11 - Misfired [04:19] │ │ 12 - Fall From Grace [04:11] │ │ 13 - Awakened [05:35] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [55:49 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
