Lilith
IT'sALIE
Too much propaganda can depict a false idea of what a band is about, and creates unnecessary expectations. But to some, it's not up to a band presents, because it's far better than what is said. And this last one is the case of IT'SALIE, because "Lilith" is really an amazing album.
Mixing a lot from Hard Rock with Glam Metal and Rock 'n' Roll nuances, the music of the quartet is powerful, melodic and full of great hooks and choruses. There's a very good technical approach on the instruments (because they're experienced musicians: Raffaello plays on ELVENKING, Camillo was on ETERNAL IDOL, and Simon plays on ALEX DE ROSSO BAND and ROOM EXPERIENCE), and the tender and powerful voice of Giorgia is really fitting perfectly on the songs. Yes, it's amazing, and what a powerful energy that comes from these melodies.
"Lilith" was produced and co-written in collaboration with Mat Sinner, and mixed and mastered by Dennis Ward. The result is a clean and defined sonority, but with a great strength and heavy weight, creating an ambiance that can bind together all the elements of the quartet's music, and take the best of the band as well.
Having some special guests as the guitarists Jorn Viggo Lofstad (of PAGAN'S MIND and JORN) and Alex Beyrodt (from PRIMAL FEAR and VOODOO CIRCLE), and the vocals of Mat Sinner on a duet on "Hurt", the album really shines with an amazing gleam. And take a chance to yourself and hear to "Silver" (a very good and powerful song, with great vocals and guitars), "Fire" (a catchy energy comes from its melodies and rhythm), "Lost" (a song built on contrasts of tender moments and aggressive parts), the charming and seductive harsh feeling of "Hurt" and of "Devils", and the fine arrangements of "Barracuda". After such experience, you'll be hooked by the band.
After all of this, all that is needed to say is that "Lilith" really deserves a sequel. In other words: IT'SALIE must keep on!
