    American Rock band Chevlle marks their debut this week, with their ninth career album released in 2021. Niratias. The album title is alphabetized as uppercase, meaning Nothing Is Real And This Is A Simulation. "Self Destructor" reached #1 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock singles chart, for a total of three weeks. Three other singles were from the album: "Peach," "Remember When," and "Endlessly." As of 2003, Chevelle has achieved six #1 Mainstream Rock songs, from six studio albums. NIRATIAS is Hard Rock, and easily fits the Adult Alternative and Hard Rock formats.
    "Verruckt" is a powerful and loud rock song, and an instrumental, the first of three. "So Long Mother Earth" is also loud, with overpowered vocals. "Mars Simula" continues it's loudness, both in sound and vocals. "Sleep The Deep" is the second instrumental, as it can fit for a movie soundtrack. It's not loud as their usual songs, yet it winds down the pace in it's short time. "Self Destructor" (the #1 hit) keeps the loudness intact. "Pistol Star (Gravity Heals)" is Metallica'ish, with it's loud, hard rock. "Vvurmhole" is a very short (third) instrumental. "Peach" defines Hard Rock/Heavy Metal - Marilyn Manson'ish. "Test Test Enough" is a well-performed track, that could have been another single from the album. Pure Hard Rock fashion. And, it sounds more of an instrumental, with very limited vocalizing. "Endlessly" winds down the pace as compared to other tracks. And it's easily heard as a single from the album. "Remember When" returns with the loudness as heard on previous tracks. "Ghost And Razor" is another loud track, and very powerful. "Lost In Digital Woods" ends the album, as it's a mood setter, eerie. Different than the other tracks, definitely. A fine way to end the album.
    Chevelle's NIRATIAS is loud, brash. It has it's wind down moments, as many hard rock albums would have. The four singles are easily determined. "Endlessly" would be the standout. It's more loud than Metallica, and it has the Marilyn Manson comparison. Loud, Hard Rock, guitar crunching Rock. It's way different than most Rock albums. Chevelle is for the Hard Rock fans that want just that - Loud, Hard Rock music.
