A new album release from Souls Extolled just dropped and believe me when I tell you it runs the gambit of rock approaches that range from classic rock all the way through to indie, alternative, experimental, psychedelic, and more.
What's super fun about this album is that it's created with fewer boundaries than you may be used to and to me, that's something excitable.
The Soulsex album is riddled with character-driven guitar sections that are sprinkled with fun effects like delay, reverb, chorus, and more but it also has this drive to it that really beckons classic rock from decades past but at the same time can bring up elements of grunge, garage rock, and so much more all rolled into one fat record.
What grabs at you is the sheer energy and form of some of these songs. The performances are through the roof to the point where it feels like everything was done in one room together all at once.
It feels as if everyone was feeding off of each other's energies the entire time and that's why you get such a massive and punch packing tonality.
You have elements of classic punk rock in there as well as everything else and I definitely feel like the vocals are a huge driving point to the record because along with those guitars they're very animated and unexpected at times.
By the time you get to the third or fourth song on this album you begin to actually expect the unexpected and that's something that's completely refreshing for me.
This is the type of record that you need to listen to all the way through from beginning to end because if you don't then you won't get the range of what the album has to offer as a whole.
There's a lot going on and some great surprises around the corners of this record but all in all, it's a fun, charismatic, vivacious, and well-performed record that is a little bit loose in the best ways and still comes through with amazing arrangements catchy courses and anthemic sections that all hit hard.
There are no two songs that are alike here. This is not cookie-cutter by any means but still has that catchiness and a little bit of pop coating that really makes it addictive.
With the release of such a robust and well-woven album, we wanted to sit down with the band's creator Zach Black to find out where this record actually came from and what might be coming up next for them.
