│║        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'?                                                ║ │
│║                                                                ║ │
