Genuflect-A Rose From The Dead

 

Genuflect's fearsome and relentless power-packed show, had given them all the right to be called "The Four Horsemen: of nu metal in this ever changing music industry.  This band has layed out eleven powerful songs, which will rearrange your mind from all the mosh pitting and head swirling that these guys gives us!  "Gather In The Streets", is once again filled with that instrument ravaging the pounds and throbs in your welcomed soul.  You may know Drew Simmolardes from the relentless band, Reveille.  They released two very solid albums, and are Ozzfest Alumni members.  Their third album, was sadly shelved, and that is a disapointing act, but now we have Genuflect to forget that ignorant move by Elektra, former home the Reveille; still a bitter moment.  "A Rose From The Dead" is more raw, nu metal, and has built a powerhouse that is hard to stray from.  To point out, other emissions from this great new EP, are "Riot On The Set:, "Gather In The Streets". Futura", and one of my most favorite, rock driving anthem that Genulfect has created, since "Head Hearse"-from their "Shadow Side" release a few years back.  It is intense, dark, and basically empowers the fans and listeners to grab even more the amazing artist.  Grab Genuflect-:A Rose From The Dead" !!

Tantric-37 Channels

 

Hugo Ferreira's masterful tone within this record will leave you "astounded".  37 Channels, the resilient band's fifth full album after kicking dust all over Travis Meeks' Days of the New project, is their strongest since the debut effort released back in 2001.  Each song seems to tell a story of Hugo's journeys in life, and his emotional ups and downs that he may or may not have struggled with.  The lead track, "Again", boasts great guitar, melody, and yet has simply lyrical content.  Yet, that grit in Hugo's vocals grabs us by our ears and pulls our souls into this record, right into the "37 channels".  Brilliant guitar work and the fact you wanna jam right away to it, make it a hell of a beginning to the album!  "Blue Room", the following song, sets a bit of a calmer world for the listener, then we start to catch a groove and rock to it.  However, if I had to pick a least favorite off the record, again, "IF" I had to, I would go with "Blue Room", but living up to "Again" was tough anyway.  Now, the first single, and the rocker, "Mosquita", really caught me and my mind off guard!  I flatout love this song, by far.  It is obviously my favorite off the record, and it reminds me so much of early Tantric.  I enjoy the blues-like tones, and angry lyrics at times.  Hell, it even has some country, Cajun breakdowns!  This is the Tantric we once knew, and Pavement Records has chosen wisely, done well, and will see success with this record, no doubt!  "Mosquita" is a hit, and I smell a top ten already!  Some other memorable, and power tracks from 37 Channels are "Rise", "My Turn", "Bullet", and my second favorite from this thrill ride, a milder diddy known as "Broken".  The writing is much better, the vocals are more clear, the instrumental ranges are much more eccentric, and this album is far more worth it, than the previous releases by Tantric, maybe except for the first record.  I'd say you could place this one up there with their self-titled debut from twelve years ago.  Hugo and the guys have put together a masterpiece here, and chosen a great label home for it as well!  Well done!

RATING: 10/10
