REVIEW: EVIDENCE - TRUTH FROM A LIE

 

EVIDENCE - TRUTH FROM A LIE (Wicked Prods. - 2000):  Coming from Portugal, Evidence has managed to do a style of modern hard rock/ heavy metal with great vocals (courtesy of Sérgio Sabino , which are similar to the ones that Chris Cornell used to do in the first Soundgarden CDs but more powerful, I feel also some shades of Ray Gillen in Badlands too…the result is great). The band is really powerful, opening the record with the great song "Time Machine" with a memorable chorus and a great solo (Vasco Martins is a really good guitarist). "Ignorance" opens with a simpler riff but going faster after some seconds into a kind of power metal race. Tracks like "Thorns" (with some odd drum beat in some places, acoustic guitars along the distorted one and some great vocal harmonies) can be a hit if the record is promoted adequately. There is a ballad too called "Never Too Late". The track "Shankar Song" that has two parts explores some eastern melodies before developing into heavier stuff. This record can be in the charts if only has good promotion (and if the tendency of putting only rap and hip hop on TV and radio changes). Contact: evidencemetal@hotmail.com
