Every now and then there is a release that overwhelms me and reminds me of why I put so much free time in reviewing stuff. This month I got surprised by the fourth release of the Milwaukee Wisconsin based metal band A Tortured Soul. I already reviewed their third album in 2010 and awarded them with 89 points.<\/p>\n

The music\u00a0has a dark and spooky atmosphere and the songs have lyrical themes about darkness, horror and religion. Maya Khairallah is responsable\u00a0for the vocals. He\u00a0uses different styles of singing,\u00a0a\u00a0lower kind of dramatic clean singing style and a higher pitched style. The higher style makes me think of a combination of Rob Halford and King Diamond. Especially in some songs like for example “Dreams” he\u00a0sounds a lot like\u00a0King Diamond.\u00a0That is a song that also has a lot of musical equalities with Mercyful\u00a0Fate. In fact the music\u00a0on this album is a combination of NWOBHM, because\u00a0of the twin guitar parts and solos,\u00a0power metal, US metal and thrash.\u00a0Also doom could be added because of the dark atmosphere. Perhaps this album doesn’t take you by the balls after the first spin, but after a few more listening sessions it really blossoms. The\u00a0songs are rather long, with a kind of variety reminding indeed of early Mercyful Fate. That\u00a0variety is the reason\u00a0you should listen\u00a0a few times more before you experience the beauty and quality of the songs.\u00a0The\u00a0guitar riffs are rather heavy and\u00a0give several songs a\u00a0thrash vibe,\u00a0“On This Evil Night”, “Smoke” and “Waiting For Death” are\u00a0some examples. In other songs the band sounds more like a mix of Judas Priest with Mercyful Fate, “Crimson” and “Dreams” are songs I talk about then. Variety is a word that really\u00a0should be written by capital letters, not only in tempo, but also in style. Most of the times the music is heavy but at times some softer parts appear. The beginning of “All\u00a0Alone” could be on one of the early albums of Judas Priest, \u00a0‘Sad Wings of Destiny’ period. When halfway the heavy riffs appear and the thrilling melodic twin guitar harmonies take over, you can’t believe it is the same song. I could write for\u00a0hours and hours about every song, but I don’t think it would add anything extra to this review.<\/p>\n

I have said enough about this album. If NWOBHM,\u00a0power metal, thrash and a combination of Judas Priest and Mercyful Fate sounds good to you, you have to listen to this. Also fans of Hell and Heathendom might like this.<\/p>\n
