NIGHTVISION - CONSEQUENCE OF SIN
ROCKSECTOR RECORDS
Metal To Infinity
Nightvision
is a talented British newcomer that released their second album ‘Consequence
Of Sin’, a few months ago. Rocksector Records claims to have one of the main
bands of the future on their roster and although I know that every label has
that feeling with a new signing, but exceptions to the rule might happen now and
then.
Well,
what do we know about Nightvision? They are located in Lincolnshire, and
released their first album ‘As The Lights Go Down’ in 2009.
These 12 songs captured 50 minutes of pleasure and they even played in
Belgium at the Wizzfest in 2010, after supporting slots of Blaze Bayley and
Fozzy. The line up of Nightvision is Daryl and Dean Hocking (drums and bass),
Bolda is taking care of the guitar and Dave McKee has a very nice voice to
listen to. Originally,
this band was formed in 2003 by Bolda and Daryl, while Dean joined two years
later, to complete their line up in 2006 with Dave. I guess that all members
melt and merge to a whole which will have their best result on a stage. The
music is really inviting, the song structures have a lot of breaks and twists,
and although they play pretty hard and heavy, there is still time and space for
a nice chorus line. I should check their lyrics as well, as I guess that they
are filled with pretty much humor and sexy double bottoms.
The
new album is titled ‘Consequence Of Sin’, and this time we get 12 songs with
45 minutes playing time. It results in an album that you will like to hear
again, time after time. I
have been looking for some fillers, but still, I’m unable to find some. The
four lads entered the Axis Studios in Doncaster and worked together with
producer Matt Elliss to release the debut album. As I’m not informed about the
recording studio and producer of this second effort, I guess that they didn’t
change the winning horse…
The
opener (‘So Many Lies’) of this second album starts immediately with a cool
riff and their rock meets metal attitude delivers a smile on the face! Their
music is inviting to tap your feet and bang your head, and the great thing is:
this feeling lingers on from start till finish. Variety is present, as
Nightvision is stirring the pot of thrash, metal, rock and even memorable sing
along tracks. Listen
to ‘What Makes You Bad’, and you will agree that this band is ready for the
next leap in their career, that could turn out in a worldwide success!
My rating: 90 / 100 (Review by Patrick De Sloover)
