About Davola

I am an independent musician from New Hampshire with goals of recording songs from my demo professionally and connecting with as many fans as possible. The music heard on the demo is a reflection of many different influences that fall under the Metal genre and beyond. An extreme metal sound at the root is flavored with elements of exotic, middle eastern harmonies and sparse acoustic passages as well as ambient melodic detours. Brutally heavy and meticulously crafted, these songs were written in an effort to push the envelope in what extreme metal is without sacrificing what makes a song memorable.

All sales of this demo will go to help fund the recording of the album. Your support is both validating and extremely appreciated.

Thanks!

Review of my demo "The Resume" from www.metalcentre.com

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.
