Notes & Personnel Info |  | This is an Enhanced CD, which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. The Enhanced portion includes a music video for "Astounded." | | Tantric: Hugo Ferreira (vocals); Todd Whitener (guitar); Jesse Vest (bass); Matt Taul (drums). | | Principally recorded at Cherokee Studios, Los Angeles, California. | | This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. | | If this music sounds familiar, it should. Three of the musicians here were formerly members of post-grunge kings Days Of The New and here, joined by new lead singer Hugo Ferreira, they've basically recreated the Days' sound. | | Ferreira has a low baritone that mostly recalls Jim Morrison in full Lizard King roar, but he also has a lower register growl that recalls Scott Weiland or James Hetfield. The band's instrumental approach depends on massed acoustic guitars overlaid with metallic electric riffs, close, double-tracked and surprisingly pretty vocal harmonies, and a straightforward rhythm section pounding out a monster groove. It's a formula, in other words, that positions them on the historical continuum beginning with Led Zeppelin and running through Pearl Jam and beyond. |
