Catch 22/Soulreaper :Evolution/Devilution/Metal On Records/2008 Double CD Review

y
  Catch  22  are  a  band  from  Ohio  that  plays  a  very  melodic  form  of  power/thrash  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2008  album  "Soulreaper:  Evolution/Devilution"  which  was  released  by  Metal  On  Metal  Records.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  no  blast  beats  being  present  on  this  recording,  while  the  bass  playing h as  a  very  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  are  coming  out  of  the  guitars  and  at  times  they  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  riffs  that  combine  thrash  and  power  metal  together  to  create  a  sound  of  their  with  a  good  amount  of  melody  being  thrown  into  the  riffing,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  melodic  and  technical  sounding  power/thrash  metal  guitar  solos  and  leads,  as  for  the  classical  guitars  when  they  are  utilized  they  use  finger  picking  and  full  chords  to  add  some  darkness  to  the  music.

  Vocals  range  from  clean  singing  power  metal  vocals  to  some  more  aggressive  thrash  shouts  and  vocals,  while  the  lyrics  dark,  occult,  violent  and  everyday  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording.

  In  my  opinion  Catch  22  are  a  very  great  sounding  melodic  power/thrash  metal  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  recording.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Soulreaper"  "Atlantis  Rising"  "Never"  and  "Season  Of  The  Witch".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
