If you’re in for a dose of old-school metal in the vein of classic bands like Accept and Judas Priest, then search no further and go for this debut album from American band Reverence, founded in 2010 by Todd Michael Hall (Jack Starr’s Burning Starr, vocals) and Bryan Holland (Tokyo Blade, guitars). Their goal was to write and record a true metal album and therefore they recruited powerhouse drummer Steve Wacholz (Savatage, Crimson Glory), second guitarist Pete Rossi and bassist Ned Meloni (Jack Starr’s Burning Starr, Funny Money). Although I’m not that much into pure heavy metal anymore, I have to admit that “When Darkness Calls” breathes quality from start to finish. The songs are powerful and catchy and each band member shows what he’s capable of, without being selfish. Variety is the key word, so I can only add that the guys have accomplished their mission. Headbangers, check this one out! (  CL)

Between this and Devils Train..my CD player in the car is getting a workout of classic Metal and Hard Rock riffs..as the other guys said a very "Classic" Metal sounding album from start to finish! Remind me of Judas Priest, Metal Church and Ryche all mixed in..not one filler to me on this album one of the best of the year so far!! And it's finaly ALL American!!

Killer old school metal the way it should be...think classic Vicious Rumors, Fifth Angel, Leatherwolf & Metal Church...blistering twin guitar attack...massive grinding riffs...and a classic sounding metal vocalist...the only thing these guys could possibly improve on is the production...had it been a little fatter this would of been a 6.

Finally, a true blue American Metal Band that can match up with the glorious days of the 80s. If you like Metal Church, Malice, Leatherwolf, old Savatage and Fifth Angel, this is the band for you! Doesn't hurt with former members of TOKYO BLADE, SAVATAGE, CRIMSON GLORY and JACK STARR’S BURNING STARR, either! Soaring vocals, shredding guitarwork and songs that actually stick to yer gray matter....this is the real deal from real purveyors of American Heavy Metal!

Sounds old school indeed and it sounds good, allthough not stunning.
