This band play what they call "progressive emo". I'm not sure what that
is, so please bear with me. This "emo" stuff is totally new to me to
begin with, and they're already making "progressive emo"? What next?
It's getting hard to keep up with all these musical sub-sub-subgenres,
I
don't know what's what anymore! But anyway...Tornicade play music that
is dark and emotional, slow and somber, which sounds influenced by
groups like the Smashing Pumpkins and Tool. The first song on this
disc, "When I Hurt", I didn't much care for. It's too slow, long, and
dragged out. I didn't find it very exciting at all. However, I did
think the second track, "Rats In The Wall", was better. It's a bit more
rocking, with some crunchier guitar riffs, a la Sabbath or Type O
Negative, and a pretty cool guitar solo, too. The third and last song,
"Washed Away", is a ballad, played on acoustic guitar, but it gets a
little heavier at the end, and also contains a good solo. This kind of
stuff is not my cup, but the band does play nicely nonetheless. For
people who like their music a tad on the darker side of things.
