 They are musically unripe, possess enthusiasm and a desire to create, but often clash with clichés and overly used solutions.

 Considering this 'Farewell' a commercially valid product is indeed a daunting task.

Vidiam's debut EP 'Farewell' offers five songs that show enthusiasm and potential but suffer from clichés and a confused alternative style. The band balances between commercial rock and metal influences with mixed results. Some tracks like "Behind A Lie" and the title track nearly engage but overall lack distinct personality.

'Farewell' is an honest but cautious introduction to Vidiam's music. Discover Vidiam's debut EP 'Farewell' and explore the raw potential of this emerging alternative rock band from Trieste.

 The word originality is certainly not present here, but speaking of young musicians, this shouldn’t necessarily cause discomfort.

 What leaves a bitter taste, however, is the audio quality of the product, decidedly not up to par.

The band's sound recalls major American acts like A Day To Remember and Parkway Drive. While the musical content shows promise for young musicians, the album suffers significantly from poor audio quality. Overall, it might appeal to metalcore fans seeking new names but doesn't stand out critically. Discover Deisler's raw metalcore energy—listen to 'Try To Look Back' and judge their potential yourself!
