This review is from: Requiem (Audio CD)

I stumbled across Verdena while searching the web for Italian music to aid my study of the language. What I found far exceeded my hopes of learning Italian! This band is a must have for any music fan, especially those who have a taste for alternative and experimental rock.

With a similar style to Muse, Pink Floyd, and the like, Verdena delivers with driving guitar and bass lines, accompanied by intricate and tight drums - all from a three-piece band!

"Requiem" is a collection of eclectic tracks that will keep the listener continually entertained throughout. The album opener, "Don Calisto," features hard pounding drums and a great introduction to lead singer Alberto Ferrari's rocking vocals. The next track, "Non Prendere L'acme, Eugenio" (which translates, "Do Not Take the Acme, Eugene") is a stand out on the album, resonating with many ambient sounds and killer guitar riffs. "Isacco Nucleare" is my favorite off of the record; it includes some more of Luca Ferrari's tight work on the bass drum and a very psychedelic feel all throughout. "Canos" is another stand out track and is flavored with a Spanish guitar and haunting vocals. "Il Gulliver", coming in at almost 12 minutes long, showcases the bands musical ability. Their single, "Muori Delay," is another catchy tune which is reminiscent to The Hives. The remaining tracks include more hard hitting rock numbers and a few slower, acoustic tracks that round out the CD well.

All in all, music lovers (especially those who live in the U.S.) who are looking for something new to listen to should definitely check out Verdena's latest release, "Requiem." Non rimarrete delusi - You will not be disappointed!
