Evenfall is an Italian band that was born out of the ashes of
the doom / death metal act Resurrecturis. In 1999 they released their debut
album "Still In The Grey Dying" which gained them some attention from the
metal crowds. The music back then was melodic black metal but since then the
band has developed a lot which has also led to some line-up changes, most
notably the addition of a female vocalist named Roberta Staccuneddu. While
still maintaining the aggressive edge with black metal screams and death metal
growls, her wonderful voice adds a very nice atmospheric touch to the band
which they were really in need of. Musically they are moving closer to Lacuna
Coil but with more electronic sampling and diverse riffs. If the band ever had
any hardcore black metal fans among their admirers they have probably lost
them with this album but they should be sure to find a lot of new open-minded
fans who like to have their metal more varied. The music itself isn't exactly
unforgettable and there are no melodies or vocal lines that really stick to
your mind but it is the nice atmosphere that makes this album what it is. The
album is unfortunately a little uneven and they use the black metal screams
whenever they feel like it without caring about whether they fit in or not but
this is still one of the most promising new Italian bands at the moment.
