ROCK EYEZ
by Brian Rademacher
Violent Divine, another Swedish prodigy of the pop culture of 80's sounds have released their self-titled debut on Chavis Records. The band has catchy choruses in the vain of Fastback with vocal style of David Sylvian and a hard edge like Motley Crue. "Love Revolution" caught my attention with the fluent stream of nail biting lyric that should give Violent Divine some notoriety. Seems to me, most of the best music these days is coming out of Sweden, and Violent Divine is no exception.
I like the direction of the band, and I am sure they will make strides to keep the Swedish market on the top of the music heap. "Slow" really gives the band dimension, and shows the versatility they have, by jumping genre's, bouncing right back to the head banging anthem, "Rush You." I can feel the power and excitement in many of these tunes. They will not keep the band down too long before exploding. The guitar riffs by G are memorable in the same style as Marilyn Manson's John 5, has on those crunchy chords. Check these guys out for some good music.
4/5
