DEAD SOUL TRIBE

This album rides an ocean vessel on the stormy sea of dark moods. After my fourth listen, I found the true value in its means, something typical of the best music any artist has to offer. I don't think any listener can appreciate this from the get go.

There is serious power in the music, mostly stemming from the guitar chord phrasings. The other instruments are wisely kept away from typical overplaying found on some Progressive Metal releases. It truly allows for the meaning of the lyrics to emerge as the defining measure. Do not expect a flurry of guitar riffs and drum fills.

For me, "The Drowning Machine" was a highlight. A bit short, but musically effective both in key and tempo.

I recommend this album to anyone who enjoys dark moody sounding music.
