Album Review
Emil Bulls – Phoenix
Good grief this singer is really retching his guts up in the first track “Here Comes the Fire.” And he has 12 tracks to go after this one! I’d hate to see the poor bastard try to do this in a live set (Throat sweets on stand by). You’d just immediately wonder how much of a headache this dude had after performing. Let him lie down for ten minutes and don’t bother him whilst his blood re-discovers the rest of his body.
It’s quite an impressive feat, and one that will give Linkin Park’s Chester a run for his money. But this is a heavier type of rock altogether anyway. But it is a relief that some ordinary singing is done as the album progresses which demonstrates range which any good band should do. In fact the range is so diverse you can find yourself in many different territories over the space of only a few minutes. Be it Death, Doom, Emo, Militant and even pure old Commercial rock, this band seem to have it all under their wing. Having a range of sound will definitely help them when it comes to playing gigs. Heavier sets for the hardcore metallers, and maybe the softer songs should they find themselves playing at weddings.
