Don't judge a book by its cover is in my opinion a golden
rule that you should try to obey. You should always keep your mind open and
this is not only of relevance when it comes to music but everything in your
life. When I put a cd in the cd player I do not expect anything from it,
except that it should work of course. Gotha does not play gothic metal despite
the band's name. They do not play power metal either like so many other
Italian bands. Instead they have decided that thrash is what makes this planet
go round and makes people stay happy. Having formed in the end of 1998 they
have been around for a few years now and grown together as a band. "Take Your
Soul" is a three-track promo cd, or demo if you will, lasting for less than
ten minutes. Still, these three tracks are enough to make a good impression of
what the band is about. Gotha have been influenced by the early wave of thrash
metal bands - Exodus, Dark Angel, Slayer etc. and they are quite nice to
listen to. It isn't really something special though - the riffs are basic
thrash riffs and I am not too fond of the vocals. If you want to listen to
Italian thrash metal I would recommend Necrodeath instead of this. Then again,
there are people who prefer to listen to the same simple old riffs over and
over again. If you are one of them then this is for
you.
