A MURDER OF CROWS

From the beautiful cover from cover artist Travis Smith we can already see this album should be special. I know we normally don�??t discuss covers on PA, but I would just like to draw your attention a bit to it, because Mr. Travis Smith (a.k.a. seempieces) surely has made some of the best progressive rock covers of all time! Just to name a few bands he has made several covers for are:

�?� Anathema �?� Deadsoul Tribe �?� God Forbid �?� Katatonia �?� Opeth �?� Riverside

Back to the album. I got this magnificent cd after reading all the good reviews on PA. I must admit I was a bit hesitant to get this album at first as I only knew Devon Graves from AYREON's Human Equation and I must say this sounded promising. Devon isn't only a great vocalist, he's also a very talented guitar and flute player. On "A Murder Of Crows" he does it all.

The songs on this album vary quite a bit from delicate to heavy, but there always seems to be a link between them and actually quite often the songs flow over in each other, or it just seems to be that way�?� What I like a lot about Deadsoul Tribe is that even in the softer �??vocal�?� tracks the guitar riffs always are quite heavy blending �??soft�?� and �??heavy�?� as I haven�??t heard it before. This album is quite progressive and I noticed it took some time to �??grow�?� on me, but once it did, it Deadsoul Tribe became one of my favourite �??progressive�?� metal bands next to Katatonia , Opeth , Riverside and Green Carnation .

I am not going to review this album track by track as it feels like one stunning experience to me and I think you should always just play this record from start to finish: the way it was meant to be!

4 stars given, but actually closer to 4.5 stars!
