DEAD SOUL TRIBE
"Dead
Soul Tribe" (Inside Out; 2002)
Reviewed by R. Scott Bolton
Dead Soul Tribe play a unique brand of metal that sounds a little like Godsmack and Disturbed but boasts a unique, haunting quality that sticks to the dome of your skull for long after listening to the record. When the band rocks, they rock hard. When they want to get a little quieter, more introspective and downright eerie, they can do that, too.
DST also boasts a prog-rock feel to it, especially tracks like "Once." Personally, I wouldn't call the band's sound progressive metal. It has some progressive rock elements, but they aren't the main force behind each song or the overall CD.
For a different, engrossing and (again) haunting listen, give Dead Soul Tribe a try.
Dead Soul Tribe: Devon Graves - vocals, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, bass, flute, keyboards, percussion; Adet Moustafa - drums, percussion; Roland Ivenz and Volker Wilshko - everything else.

Rating Guide:
A classic. This record will kick your ass.
Killer. Not a classic but it will rock your world.
So-so. You've heard better.
Pretty bad. Might make a nice coaster.
Self explanatory. Just the sight of the cover makes you wanna hurl.
