GRANDE-ROCK
Violent Divine is a brand newcomer as it was formed in 2005. On the other hand, they guys of the band are not any little kids that trying to play rock music just for fun... the guys have rock music in their veins! In a very little time period they managed to become a real band and to record their debut album! The band seems to be influenced from different bands and music eras such as the late 80s US hard rock era, 70s rock (bands like Aerosmith and Kiss) and 90s rock alternative bands like Pearl Jam and Nickelback. Just imagine a very good mix of all those rock elements from all those eras and you have Violent Divine!
The musicianship is very tight and strong... they have good ideas, nice refrains and heavy riffs... so the whole package is more than good. I also like the vocalists voice 'cause, it reminds me of the 90s alternative singers and it fits very good with the hard rock music in the background. The production is very powerful and the whole album in general is well-produced. Watch out for the single "Rush You" 'cause when you listen to it, you will surely start searching for this album.
I do not wanna make any predictions but if the band have the support that it should have from the label, and they start touring around so that the whole world can learn about them then the future will look so bright for them. If you believe that all those much-praised bands like Velvet Revolver, Nickeback etc. cannot satisfy you very much then try out a new band that have the potentials to overcome those opponents... and the most important of all... can surely offer us good rock music.
