If you're looking for a Death metal album with brutality and strength, Suppressed Soul are the ones for you. The band is made up of Daniel Poblete on guitars, Pablo Cortes on bass, and Christopher Zapata on drums. These three members have been able to successfully combine different Death metal sub-styles to create a style that is all their own.
The Sorrow of Soul Through Flesh
As a debut album, The Sorrow Of Soul Through Flesh is an impressive effort from an up-and-coming band. It lays down a solid foundation and features great musicianship, including a standout bass performance. It is also a solid album with its own distinct flavor.
Didot Klasta's work
Didot Klasta is a multidisciplinary artist from Indonesia who came to Australia in 2012. She has worked in many different art forms, including visual art and theatre. Her current project, titled Victims and Versions, explores the experiences of the victims of the brutal campaign against the Indonesian left in 1965. Her work also incorporates music, dance, and theatre.
The acoustic breaks
The acoustic breaks in SUPPRESSED SOUL are a nice touch. They introduce the listener to the theme of forgiveness and cleansing. This concept ties in nicely with the overall theme of the album. The album's tempo and intensity are consistent and aptly reflect Sawayama's maturation as an artist.
The sound of the album
The sound of the suppressed soul can be described as the yearning of a covered body to be released. It can be a yearning to be free of the black covering that has encased your soul. The sound can take you to different states of consciousness.
The influences
The influences on suppressed soul are many and varied. Some of these influences may have a spiritual cause, and some may be the result of personal choices. For example, some people may be suppressed by the cultural or religious pressure to remain single, or by fears of rejection or ostracization for their "liberal" beliefs. Either way, suppressed souls can't live in alignment with their true nature.
