NOVEMBER is a new melodic hard rock band with strong influences from the late 80s and early 90s American style of the genre. The group was formed last year by singer Danny G (currently member of Last Days Garden Of Eden) with vast experience having worked as a sound technician & singer for Steve Vai, Rage, Angra and more. The line up is completed by Diego Riesgo and Alex Tilles (Guitars), Fer Espina (Bass) and Adri Lopez (Drums).
The band’s debut album “The Long Way Home” also features collaborations from BumbleFoot Thal and Gus G. dropping some amazing guest guitar spots.
The CD begins in fine style with a strong melodic opening of guitars and drums with “Tear Down The Kings” with its big chorus rich in fabulous harmonies that is catchy and punchy at the same time. Next we hear the anthemic “Never Lose Your Hopes” which sound-wise recall of bands like Tyketto and White Lion, with Bumblefoot on guitar. A highlight.
Next up is the midtempo tune “One Of A Kind”, a heartfelt, emotional track which very reminiscent of early ’90s U.S. melodic hard rock sounds. “When The Door Is Closed” has a nice bluesy rhythm which is the foundation of the track, followed by a more up tempo rocker in “Don’t Prey For Me” which gallops along with deep bass tones and sharper vocal style by Dani G.
Two more solid song arrive with “The Long Way Home” and “Egomaniac”, the former a no nonsense rock n’ roll scorcher, while the latter oozes attitude. “Vegas Queen” is a fun track with a Texan-style guitar tones and a bluesy hard rock vibe, a feel-good foot stomping rocker.
Penultimate track “Never Said Farewell” is a ballad, piano led and with raw emotion coming from Danny G’s vocals, which gains a powerful momentum with united harmonies in a superb vocal finale. “Shot From Your Heart” is the second collaboration, which features Gus G. (Ozzy) on guitar, a strong energetic rocker ending the album in fine style.
November delivers a more than a solid debut release with “The Long Way Home” – the songs are strong, with really good vocals, complete guitar work, and polished production.
A good, interesting band to keep an eye on.
