We couldn’t wait to dive into the self-titled album Della Nova after being blown away by DELLA NOVA’s earlier work.
We started with “You Know,” and it immediately hits like a slow, deliberate tidal wave. The punchy opening beat combined with that deep, ominous, sustained bass sets the stage for something truly captivating. The vocals are a masterful blend of gentle soaring and raw, raging emotion, pulling you into a slow-burning journey that drags in the most hypnotic and electrifying way. Every note feels like it hangs in the air, deliberate and heavy, wrapping itself around you. It’s a brilliant jazz-infused heavy metal experience that pushes every emotion to its edge. The song creates a tension so palpable it feels like you’re balancing on the edge of your seat, eager for what’s next. And then it hits- an explosive, thundering crescendo that delivers a thrill ride for the ears. If there’s one reason this band will no longer stay undiscovered, it’s this kind of boundary-pushing talent. It’s only a matter of time before they get the recognition they deserve.
“Stand Up” detonates the speakers from the first note, charging in with relentless energy. The blistering pace paired with gritty, rap-metal-infused vocals, now cemented as a standout hallmark of this band hits hard. The drums demand attention, delivering intricate stylings and perfectly placed fills that amplify the track’s urgency. It’s a powerhouse song that grabs you by the collar and refuses to let go.
“Gimme Love” showcases some phenomenal guitar work with an undeniable classic rock edge, bringing to mind the swagger and vibe of bands like Kiss. The arrangement is clean, crisp, and impeccably executed, highlighting the band’s ability to blend authenticity with polished professionalism. What really makes this band stand out, though, is the clarity in their sound. Each instrument carves out its own distinct space, never muddy, never overshadowing. It’s as if each element exists as its own track you could isolate and still enjoy, yet together, they create something powerful and cohesive. The vocals take this track to another level, adding layers of melancholy to a heavy metal masterpiece. The hypnotic repetition of the title creates an immersive experience that builds to a thrilling, cathartic payoff.
“Rise With The Wind” is a stunning showcase of the band’s versatility, seamlessly blending the grit of heavy metal legends with contemporary flair. The guitars begin as sweet, ear-pleasing melodies before erupting into full-on screams, creating a rollercoaster of sound that keeps you hooked. Halfway through, the entire band seems to lose themselves in a moment of pure chaos, and you can only imagine what a thrill this must be to witness live. It’s a genre-spanning triumph that cements this band as a true innovator.
The production and engineering on this album are nothing short of stellar. The mix is pristine, with every instrument crystal clear and perfectly balanced. The vocals are given just the right spotlight, making for an immersive and engaging experience. What’s particularly refreshing is how authentic the entire project feels, there’s no over-engineering here. The instrumentation and vocals are raw, dynamic, and unfiltered, making the listening experience all the more powerful.
This album is an undeniable signal of big things ahead for Della Nova. Their sound is original yet nostalgic, polished yet authentic, a perfect storm of talent that’s ready to break through.
