Artist Description | Soul Embraced
Rare is it in the metal world that side-projects are taken seriously. They often fall victim to members other bands or schedules and dissolve with mere whimpers. So let it be said, Soul Embraced is NOT a side project. Nor is this a one-shot record. They are the real deal, with enough conviction and metal in their veins to launch themselves to the front of the aggressive pack, and their newest album, Immune, is set to prove it.
It’s no secret that two thirds of Soul Embraced, Lance Garvin (drums) and Rocky Gray (guitars), serve time in the devastating Living Sacrifice, and from the beginning it’s also obvious that there is a clear distinction between the two bands. Chad Moore (vocals) enters the fray with a vocal display that is all over the spectrum while perfectly stitching together the staccato-tight riffs and percussive battery with surgical aplomb.
While keep the brutality consistent throughout the ten tracks, there are plenty of moments where Soul Embraced breathe life into the caustic mix with melodic guitar licks and cleanly sung passages, giving a nod to their peers and label-mates Demon Hunter and Zao.
Produced by Barry Pointer (Zao, Living Sacrifice, Embodyment) at Poynters Palace in Little Rock Arkansas, Soul Embraced have taken their straightforward approach to death-metal and documented it with crushing heaviness, technical chugging and a twist of experimentation. Simple enough to catch all metal fans and definitely bold enough to break down barriers between old and new, Soul Embraced are a celebration of all that is metal. Truly, this is motivation for other side projects to step it up or just give up.
