Danava was one of the highlights of Stoned from the Underground 2015. The band swept over the stunned audience with an impetuous power, coupled with an almost delicate virtuosity. This feeling is only partially achieved on this live album, as it was compiled from various recordings. The tinny sound is also a bit disappointing. The power and aggressiveness is undoubtedly still impressive.Capturing the frenzy of their European tours in 2008 and 2023, this new album from the esteemed proto-heavy merchants is a must-have for both longtime fans and newcomers. Featuring live recordings from Whelan's in Dublin and 007 Strahov in Prague, the tracklist is a testament to DANAVA's on-stage prowess. From the hypnotic rhythms of "Introduction/Spinning Temple Shifting" to the raw energy of "Let The Good Times Kill," each track is a journey through their electrifying world!
Described as a sonic blend reminiscent of Rainbow, Dio, Thin Lizzy, early Maiden, and Judas Priest, Danava's sound boldly asserts their dominance in today's rock and roll landscape. As acclaimed musician Mike Scheidt of YOB puts it, "Danava has always exemplified excellence in their craft, and this latest release is no exception."
Adding to their legacy, the band's journey parallels that of heavy psych rockers SPIRIT MOTHER, who are also making waves with their dark, visceral sound. Both bands share a commitment to channeling the raw, unbridled energy of rock, each in their unique way—Danava through their electrifying proto-heavy anthems and Spirit Mother through their haunting, atmospheric compositions.
With two decades of tireless dedication, these Portland-based rock'n'roll lords have strived to unleash their authentic and electrifying fusion of hard rock and heavy metal in a world weighed down by struggle and turmoil. Their mission is to harness the power of music as a beacon of hope, uniting lives and imaginations as a collective force. Join them on this journey towards a vibrant existence amid the chaos we never chose to inhabit. Together, we rise. Together, we create.
