Bio:

The Great Divide formed in 2011 when Pier Paolo Cianca (guitar), Vladimiro Melchiorre (drums), Alessio Ripani (bass) and the Italian-American singer songwriter Gino Maradé (lead vocals) started playing together in a converted garage in the outskirts of Rome.They set off on a prolific and intense two years, writing almost a dozen new songs and recording a five track EP, before Gino Maradé has to return to New York in 2013.Then the band took a short hiatus and changed the line-up: Mauro Pala (Avekey and Dr. Hyde) joined the band as lead singer, and long-time friend and mentor Gabriele Sorrentino (Hyperdrive) finally maked his official entrance at the guitar.The line-up was consolidated and ready to register their first Album (UNION - 2017), recorded in a weekend in the old fashioned way: live, “plug and play” into the amps, without editing in post production, looking for the same magic, energy and interplay heard on the albums of the seventies.The band then started an intense 2-year live season, rocking the stages around Italy and the eastern Europe (Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Poland). After signin with Agoge Records, on July 2019 a new Mix and Master has been released with the name “UNION Reloaded”.The band is always looking forward, and is currently working on brand new songs for the next album.The band finds its sound and defines its own language somewhere between the hard rock of Velvet Revolver, Backyard Babes and Foo Fighters, and the grunge of Alice in Chains and Stone Temple Pilots, with crossover and alternative rock influences.

Album:

“Higher” is the new album from Italian hard rockers THE GREAT DIVIDE, their second overall. The Great Divide formed in 2011 when Pier Paolo Cianca (guitar), Vladimiro Melchiorre (drums), Alessio Ripani (bass) and the Italian-American singer songwriter Gino Maradé (lead vocals) started playing together in the outskirts of Rome. All are music teachers and session musicians, so expect an oiled combo here.Musically they bring to the table the hard rock sound of the ’90s served with a modern approach, mixing the American and European styles of the genre with heavy striations and lots of groove in this album.“Higher” is a work characterized by an elevated quality of execution, whose outcome is a clean and full sound. Another interesting feature of the album (which is revealing with regard to the band’s technical proficiency) is its internal consistency: although the tracks display a considerable degree of nuance, the sound of the band remains clearly identifiable.They start with the punchy ‘Speed’ a good example of the band’s powerful Rock N’ Roll, guitar driven hard rock, followed by the more Americanized ‘No Doubt’, more melodic, with an inspired solo.At places ‘Broadway’ bring to mind 2000’s Alice Cooper with its sharp and heavier riffing; there’s no shortage of melody when it needs.The music lilt and swagger in a dance rhythm on ‘Rebirth’, while there’s more atmospheres and growing emotion on ‘Lines’. I hear a little of Velvet Revolver on ‘Hell Scar’, then the album ends with ‘Stay’ which starts with a sweet arpeggio but evolve into an uptempo rocker – the closest to a ballad of you’ll find on the album.The Great Divide brings to life the hard rock sound of the 90s with an original and overflowing character, worthy of bands that currently play main stages around Europe and the United States. There isn’t many bands today playing this sub-genre, and these Italians are very good at it.A really interesting release that is well worth checking out for anyone enjoying the straightforward hard rock music with melody & groove, good lyrics and potent production
