Description

Goresfests fourth album ‘Soul Survivor’ was a departure from their death metal of the previous three albums, producing a more classic rock sound, which they have then applied a heavier tone too, and instead of clean singing they have kept frontman Jan-Chris de Koeijer’s death growls. The result? A death n roll album that proves that the band’s bravery has paid off. ‘Soul Survivor’ is almost perfect. The vocals of Jan-Chris de Koeijer may not be brutal death metal growls, a fact that he is often criticized for, but ‘Soul Survivor’ just cements the fact that he is a much underrated talent, being a grunter with a deep tone, and on top of that there is the fact that he is for the most part, understandable. When listening to this album the lyrics can be understood easily, so people actually know what the song is about. The perfect guitar sound is summed up within the first minute of ‘Freedom’, hooking myself as the listener into what is without a doubt a must-have for any Gorefest fan, whether they miss the full-on death metal or not. This is the original Nuclear Blast 1996 vinyl release with totally different cover artwork. Reduced price due to a sticker damage in upper right corner Track listing: 1. Freedom 2. Forty Shades 3.
