On the same day as the last 'Cruzh', the debut album of 'Mayank' was released, which is a new melodic rock band that is again (just like 'Cruzh') a production of 'Frontiers' director 'Serafino Perugino' and this new project consists of Brazilian singer 'Gui Oliver' ('Auras', 'Landfall'), Swedish guitarist 'Rolf Nordström' ('Perfect Plan'), the drummer 'Nicholas Papapicco' and, of course, the unavoidable 'Alessandro Del Vecchio' on keyboards, bass and backing vocals, because when it comes to 'Frontiers', the Italian isn't far away. On ideas of 'Alessandro Del Vechio', the texts and melodies of the 11 titles were written by 'Gui Oliver' and, without surprise, we sail in harmonious and refined AOR in the great tradition of the different bands of the artists constituting 'Mayank' but also of formations bringing us back to the 80s with 'Survivor' or 'Journey'. The first single released, 'Destiny Calling' (see video above) sums up the whole. We spend a very pleasant moment listening to tracks like 'Billy is on the Run', 'Julia's Smile' or 'From the Heart' or 'Eternal Dream' or even the only ballad of the album 'Sign of Love'. In short, 'Mayank' is added to the long list of melodic rock bands, and we spend a very good time listening to this first opus which should please a large public adept of an elegant AOR with catchy melodies...
