REVIEW OF MY DEMO "THE RESUME"
DAVOLA - "The Resume"
2008
Music: Metalcore/Alternative Metal
Website: www.myspace.com/joeydavola
Duration: 76:10 minutes (15 tracks)
Country: United States
DAVOLA is one-man project of Aaron Cloutier. The album "The Resume" is summary of artist's works which contains until 15 tracks closed in over seventy minutes.
The music represented by Aaron oscillates among brutal species of Metal - from Thrash Metal to Death Metal as well as Metalcore. This mixture in total creates very extreme music full of brutal, heavy and aggressive phrases. The quick paces, low tuned guitars and parties of distortion bass in connection with characteristic heavy riffs and aggressive screams create climate similar to such bands like STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, LAMB OF GOD, SLIPKNOT or MASTODON.
However the heavy, quick guitar's riffs and aggressive vocal parties – in spite of superiority – are not only solutions here. In the tracks also are plaited clean parties of guitars, melodious solos, acoustic pieces e.g. in style of Flamenco and clean singing. This all sometimes give to the music melancholy mood or simply gentler tone.

The brainchild of lone independent musician Aaron Cloutier, Davola is an extreme metal assault on the senses while pushing the limits of what can be done creatively in the metal world.
Brutal, melodic, exotic and all around Schizophrenic, the music created by Aaron is the product of a man clearly suffering from a musical identity crisis who seemingly refuses to settle on any one specific style.......most likely stemming from a fear of commitment.
With a world of influences thrown in the mix ranging from the fury and intensity of SLAYER, SLIPKNOT and STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, to the meticulous polyrhythms and odd time signatures of Sweden's MESHUGGAH, it is difficult at times to confine the music into one genre alone.
There's is an ethereal melodic element as well with twin guitar harmonies, sparse clean signing and massive chords sandwiched between the more technical and machine gun like riffs a la LAMB OF GOD and FEAR FACTORY.
Toss in a harmonic minor, middle eastern vibe and you've got one confusing style to label. Is it death metal? Is it thrash? is it progressive? and what's going on with all the acoustic elements?
Despite what would seem like nothing more than an exercise in musical excess, there is method to the madness. The chaos is meticulously controlled, subdued and packed into tight, comprehensive heavy as hell anthems that serve to take the listener on a journey. This is extreme metal from a composer's perspective with attention to song craft and dare I say.... a pop sensibility. (THERE'S NO POP IN METAL!!!......or is there?)
So judging from all of this you might be left with one question among others....
Who does this guy think he is? And WHERE does he think he's from?......
