'Revolution Saints' is a group composed of artists from the melodic hard-rock scene with 'Deen Castronovo' ('Journey', 'Bad English', 'Gioeli - Castronovo') , Doug Aldrich ('Whitesnake', 'Dio') and 'Jack Blades' ('Night Ranger', 'Damn Yankees') who have already released 2 studio albums and the last 'Light In The Dark' dates from 2017 (see < a href='https://open.spotify.com/album/76ZvpauAIomzq1MmNvcjYx?si=5CJ726DyTm-HrQvHKA9WiA'>here); for this new opus 'Rise', they called on 'Alessandro Del Vecchio', which we no longer present (see the last album in which he participated here), for these talents of keyboardist but also for the production and consequently, taking into account the pedigree of the Italian, one suspects the result all the more that with the 3 artists quoted above, one holds the top of the pavement of melodic hard-rock. Therefore, no surprise, this is a sequel of unstoppable melodies which scroll one after the other and which are remarkably effective from the first listening. We navigate between energetic titles like 'When The Heartache Is Gone', 'Rise' or even 'Higher' and others, more AOR like 'Price The Pay', 'Coming Home' or 'Talk to Me' without forgetting the magnificent ballads 'Closer' and 'Eyes of the Child' .
In summary, even if they do not revolutionize the genre, the Americans of 'Revolution Saints' with the guest of mark, Italian 'Alessandro Del Vecchio', release an excellent album of melodic hard-rock, varied and accessible at the first listening and 'Rise' should delight all lovers of this style which has its roots in the early 80s...
