The Canadian trash\/power metal band recently released \u2018Save Our Souls\u2019. You can hear influences from bands like: Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Metallica. Among other things, the lyrics are about PTSD (Post Tramatic Stress Disorder), self-reflection and the state of the world today. The starkly sung words in, for example, \u2018Save Our Souls\u2019 fit this perfectly. The uptempo \u2018New World Error\u2019 contains surprisingly light elements. The tightly played parts in \u2018Lease on Life\u2019 are a special contrast to some of the “long-winded” words. The positive lyrics are about personal change. Calmer bits are also woven into \u2018On Thin Ice\u2019.
You can hear Phear’s energy in the live bonus track \u2018Delusions\u2019. This album has plenty of delicious (screaming) guitar playing, a fine rhythm section and good vocals. The spread across the headset has been used in a fine way.
Because of the verse-rephrase build-up, some parts are a bit predictable. Still, vocally and instrumentally it is quite well put together. Especially the choruses linger pleasantly in your head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
