Some of you who
are familiar with the history of metal probably know of the American band
Psychotic Waltz who was one of the pioneers on the progressive metal field
during the 1990's. The band more or less dissolved in 1998 but the members
have not entirely left the music business. Dead Soul Tribe is the new band of
the former vocalist Buddy Lackey who now goes under the alter ego of Devon
Graves and now living in Austria. Together with drummer Adel Moustafa, bass
player Roland Ivenz and rhythm guitarist Volker Wilschko he keeps on delving
deep into the inner core of progressive metal. Despite the fact that a couple
of his new band mates have a background in the Austrian punk scene this album
breathes progmetal and only progmetal (well, a little bit of love ballads too)
which I am very glad about. While Devon was a member of Psychotic Waltz he
didn't get a chance to play the guitar but now that he makes his own
decisions he delivers some crushing riffs to the world and also plays some
flute. This is a nice solid release with music that flows by smoothly but I
would have loved to see a little more power or speed. Even though there are no
bad tracks here there are no tracks that clearly stand out from the others
either but the chorus of "Once" is a beautiful one (I know I'm a
softie...). A good solid and personal release but I still prefer the amazing
work he did with Psychotic
Waltz.
