When I think of Soul Fly it is the primitive state of man-- which they seem to represent with the utmost accuracy--that first comes to mind. They produce a sound that engulfs you into a chaos similar to that of unbalanced jungle warfare, the type that is fought with extreme vile with the only purpose to bring extinction to another. Their guitars shred with speed that resembles such insane piss-fire, while backed by percussion that resonates with the beats and sounds of the ancient tribes, which were thought to be long gone. So when I say that they released a cover song that could easily torn apart into pieces just by innocent criticism, you know that I speak with awareness of what Soul Fly represents. In their latest album there is a cover of Marilyn Manson‟s “The Beautiful People” which was great enough own its own and didn‟t need to be re-released. Knowing where Soul Fly‟s talents are I figured the drums would be right on par, if not better, but the vocals lost what they had before. I know some would argue that Cavalera‟s voice is barbaric in favor as it is his trademark, but by doing so it sounds like it the song was being covered by an unsigned band, the type of band that would play in the gritty bars in the poorest regions. In the frantic realm of metal, much more, the colossal gluttony of the music industry as a whole, and the veil of shadows that hid even the busiest of artists, it is easy to see why so many gems could go uncovered. One of these rare finds is a melodic death metal band from the UK, Setheus. Their single, “The Chooser of the Slain” has a great opening riff which takes no time intertwining into a melody thick enough to mirror that of other artists in the same genre like Inflames. One thing that tends to make or break bands in this genre is the voice of the singer. It is often very crude and comes out as a cookie monster sort of growl, and even though it is a beloved method by many it also carries a threshold with it. Setheus doesn‟t cross that sort of line; in fact, their single shows that the vocalist is careful to not abuse the growl. This is a band that could easily become more popular across that world, even in America where Hip-Hop and Pop dominate the charts. Stepping out of the territory of everything-metal, I bring you introduction to a type of sound that is great t write to, at least for me anyway. I find the sound of bass and drums to be enough to build the most intoxicating melodies. In such pieces there is a wide variety of added materials that could appear, such as, light keyboards, lyrics with cryptic messages, and much more; however, no matter how busy these pieces get it is ultimately the drum and bass that gets me. To give an example, check out the samples on the website in my area.
