DEAD SOUL TRIBE „A Murder of Crows”

There are albums to listen in group, better if on the car stereo with an enormous loudness, others to use as background for romantic tete à tete meetings. The new album of Dead Soul Tribe instead belongs to another category, the ones of the CDs to listen in the loneliness of one's own room, preferably with the lights out and the earphones well stuck to your ears. Devon Graves (former Psychotic Waltz) continues his sound exploration of the most hidden and deep corners of human soul: the Nevermore memories this time remain on background, present in traces like the legacy of past experiences, while the dynamics of the best introspective progressive prevail (Fates Warning, Pain Of Salvation) and the hypnotical developments that are so dear to a band like Tool. This latest is, seeing well, the influence that characterizes the album the most, truly oriented towards repetitive rhythmical scores and crepuscular atmospheres: a whole streaming, where the dark beating of the bass and the tribal obsessive patterns contribute giving a likeable sense of floating. “A Murder Of Crows” reveals a thick and single-coloured work then, where the division into tracks tends to lose every meaning, with all the qualities and faults that effects. Dedicated to who wishes diving into a black musical ocean.
