Song Review: Alchemy Divine - I'm in a Rush



Hard Rock act Alchemy Divine released the high-octane" I'm In A Rush", taken from the recent album Crushed. The Italians are enjoying a meteoric rise with their blend of classic rock riffs and soaring vocal melodies. The band were formed in 2015 under the pseudonym Alchemy but chose to rename themselves to avoid confusion with Dire Straits cover bands.

I'm in a Rush starts off with an energetic buzz segue into the lung-busting vocal styles of Francesca Mantovani. Her operatic palette is rich and dynamic, towering over the screeching guitar breaks of guitarist Mauri Belluzzo. The band come together in the chorus in a joyful cry of I'm in a rush. Mantovani can dictate tempo through her varying levels of tone, accompanied by the thunderous pounding of drummer Michael Kostka and the rumbling bass of Luca De Mare.

Alchemy Divine seems to have the right formula with this retro roar of pure rock.
