Metal maniacs, rejoice! I am proud to present to you: COLORVINE; signed via CV Media Group/Cargo Records UK, hailing from the United States of America - performing Melodic Rock, on their third album entitled: "Wake Up" (released July 5th, 2019).

Since formation in 1995; the trio in question have 3 albums in their discography so far, I am introduced to their 3rd album entitled: "Wake Up". 10 tracks ranging at around 33:48; COLORVINE arrange an intricately designed formula of heavy-hitting Melodic Rock developments. "Like A Rocket" begins the record; conveying amplified adrenaline, boistrously bouncy catchiness & crunchy hymns that demonstrate flamboyantly easy-listening soft rock distinctions. Amalgamating fuzzy rhythms; soothing melodies, and adroit implementation of groovy – radio-friendly harmonies that showcase a solid ritual of organic substance & wildly rushing energy. Gathering a uniquely versatile variety of vehemence, sophistication & passionate songwriting stability. Converging an attribute of aesthetics, and atmospheric instrumentation make this an enlightening experience.

Consisting of Larry Saltis on vocals/guitar; the frontman distributes a consistently complex flair of clean lungs, high-pitched pipes with a rawly rough ramification to it. "Victory Song" excels in a fashionable fabrication of dexterity; riveting riffs, and sonically seamless solos that thunder with concrete gnarliness. Fuelled with blistering barrages of infectious bass audibility from Kurt Reed; embellishing on injecting experimental elements, rapidly swift nimbleness & thumpy meatiness with a hint of psychedelic dynamics. The titular track delivers a borderline foundation of flavour; frolicking chugs, and distinguishable characteristics that blend into a barraged frenzy of fluidly polished soundscapes & meticulous manifestations. "Radio Days" supplies a quintessentially simplistic pattern of pop-rock juxtapositions; transistioned with subtle pursuits of quirky snappiness & momentous musicianship.

Heath Saltis on the battering drums hammers his set with potent vibrancy; slamming with virtuosic perseverence. "Change In The Weather" contrasts into an constructively elegant panache of rocking finesse; culminating anthemic artistry, overarched with hints of neo-classical prog swag & a technical moderation of modernized - old-school proficiencies. "Smoke" maintains all this with upbeat swerve & tight jumpiness; portraying enthusiastic exuberance, mellifluous shreds that roar with rippingly exquisite firepower & fiery expertise - immersed into a broad landscape of vibrantly zestful performances. "Happy Broken Heart" is your stereotypical jam; revolved around a silver lining slab of razor-sharp positivity, while beaming with wonderously euphoric electricity.

"Be The One" compiles aforementioned aptitudes with rich vigour; salubriously sparking with talented potential, systematically hybrid haste & a flexible formulaic of enforced laceration & emotive lyricism - crafting inventive doses of enjoyably entertaining diversity. "Closer" contributes a full-throttle tradition of synthesized orchestration, rambunctious bliss and angelically frantic efficaciousness make this an epicly joyous record. Overall concluding "Wake Up" with the finale song: "Say You Love Me"; I am compelled to say that COLORVINE certainly outdone themselves with this one, it is a delightful discovery - full of interesting embodiments of detailed calibre that will make you tap your feet in no time. If you are a rocker looking for a new record to digest - have at it, extreme heavy metal maniacs...may want to move on.
