Belladonna - The Noir AlbumBelladonna - The Noir Album

Belladonna is an Italian band that formed in 2005 in Rome. The Noir Album is there second release, and is released via Belladonna records.

The albums opens with an ok-ish track called Alchemical Romance, its a tad catchy, but the songs that follow the opener are much much better,Phoenix Rising, gallops along steadily, with a decent chorus, till death do us part is abit of a headbanger, but needs to be way heavier to reall get that head rocking, the main riff an drums work well together, and the vocals are pretty decent, not sure why this is classed as rock noir, just rock would have done. Im not sure if im a fan of the lyrics there a bit melodramatic, but i guess there supposed to be, the vocalist Lunan is very good though, the guitar work on the album is good, if slightly understated, leaving room for the vocals to really come through, the drumming is solid if a tad standard, and the bass is in there somewhere i think. The Album Closes with Pure Belladonna, a fairly ok track, it seems the album starts as it finishes, with ok-ish tracks, luckily the songs in between are much better.

The Noir Album is out now to purchase.

4/5
