Long Island’s Decypher
latest release has great
elements of the hard rock 90’s, yet still manage to
keep the sound modern in today’s world. Beginning with the first track “Father”. It’s a high energy number that’s gets this CD going. From the
vocals of Mike D’Ambra setting the tone, combined with the guitar work of Tim Anastasio,
bassist Leo Sabatino and drummer Donn Parent,
this is a cohesive unit that should be one to watch
for some time.
Other tracks like “One Last Day” have a Candlebox style feel. However, don’t be calling Decypher a clone. This is a track that has touches of
the 90’s only as Decypher has a style all their
own and they keep things very powerful and balanced. The track “Walk Away” has a great build
up to start the song and then picks up steam. A
song that shows some aggression, yet keep the
strong melodic qualities that this band shows
throughout the 4 tracks on this EP.
There is no mistaking that there is a truly unique
sound running through the blood of Decypher.
This release is another winner in 2013 and hopefully one that will put these “Strong Islanders” on
the map. - Jim Santora
