Soul Embraced
Soul Embraced is a Christian melodic death metal band from Little Rock, Arkansas, United States. It was originally a side project for Rocky Gray and David Sroczynski. History Originally a side project of drummer David Sroczynski and William "Rocky" Gray from Shredded Corpse formed in 1997, the band dissolved after creating one song for a metal compilation in 1998. Gray reformed the band with fellow Living Sacrifice member Lance Garvin (drums) and his brother in-law Chad Moore (vocals). When Gray and Garvin weren't busy with Living Sacrifice, they would hammer away with Charlie T. West at making material for their death metal side project. The band released an EP (''The Fleshless EP''), and three albums (''For the Incomplete'', ''This Is My Blood'', '' Immune'') over a five-year span. ''For the Incomplete'' was re-released in 2003 by the independent label Blood and Ink Records. In 2002, the band was part of a sampler for Tarantula Promotions, titled '' Arachnid Terror Sample ...

Immune (album)
''Immune'' is the third studio album by Soul Embraced, released on February 25, 2003. Critical reception Awarding the album three stars from AllMusic, Alex Henderson states, "his CD is an exciting demonstration of the fact that Soul Embraced does not govern by brute force alone." Andy Shaw, giving the album a seven out of ten for Cross Rhythms, describes, "Soul Embraced have managed to put something of a new twist into it." Rating the album a three out of five at ''The Phantom Tollbooth'', writes, "''Immune'' is a step in the right direction for Soul-Embraced." Joe Quinlan of Jesus Freak Hideout states, "To be honest, I felt the entire album sounded the same, empty and slow. After Soul Embraced's last album came out (''Dead Alive''), I'd listen to that release any day over ''Immune''. Also, considering the album was recorded in 2003, most kids are too much into Underoath and August Burns Red these days to enjoy ''Immune''. As for me, I still enjoy the album and anything Soul Emb ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dead Alive (album)
''Dead Alive'' is the fourth album by the Christian metal band, Soul Embraced. It is the first and last album to feature rhythm guitarist Devin Castle, and the last to feature drummer Lance Garvin. Critical reception Giving the album an eight out of ten from Cross Rhythms, Peter John Willoughby states, "The lyrics are bound to unsettle, but you have to bear in mind that this is for the death metal scene and will not be suitable for an impressionable young teenager." Jason B, rating the album for Indie Vision Music an eight out of ten, says, "this is metal done right." Awarding the album seven out of ten, in a second review at Indie Vision Music, Josh Murphy describes, "Soul Embraced is capable of so much more than this." Zachary Zinn of Jesus Freak Hideout expresses "Soul Embraced knew what they were doing when they wrote ''Dead Alive''. Luckily they didn't fall into the trap that many metal bands do- every song sounding the same with no originality in the mix. This will be a gre ...

This Is My Blood
''This Is My Blood'' is the second studio album by the death metal band Soul Embraced. Critical reception Awarding the album three stars at AllMusic, Tom Semioli writes, "In a genre that thrives on formula and repetition, Soul Embraced adds a welcome blast of soul on This Is My Blood." Marc Lungley, giving the album an eight out of ten from Cross Rhythms, states, "This has stamina to be a regular on the shelf of any metal fan." Writing for ''The Phanton Tollbooth'', Duncann Tripp says, "Good listening all around."

Mythos (Soul Embraced Album)
''Mythos'' is the fifth album by the Christian metal band, Soul Embraced. It is the first album to feature Cody Smith and Jon Dunn. Critical reception John Magelssen from Indie Vision Music says: "Soul Embraced have shown their ferocity and growth over the past fifteen years and are releasing their new full-length album ''Mythos'' on Tuesday, July 9th 2013. This is a great album and will please the ears as well as the soul with its hard-hitting death metal riffs to their heavy breakdowns. If you have the time or money, this record is well worth listening to." Michael Larson from ''HM Magazine'' said: "Soul Embraced are back with a vengeance. Mythos is their fifth album and, arguably, their best to date. This month, there have been some great releases, but I did not expect Soul Embraced to be one of them. First off, everything on this album is solid. Vocalist Chad Moore seems to have improved over time, and then, they have these supremely placed guest vocals. The most notable th ...

Cover Version
In popular music, a cover version, cover song, remake, revival, or simply cover, is a new performance or recording by a musician other than the original performer or composer of the song. Originally, it referred to a version of a song released around the same time as the original in order to compete with it. Now, it refers to any subsequent version performed after the original. History The term "cover" goes back decades when cover version originally described a rival version of a tune recorded to compete with the recently released (original) version. Examples of records covered include Paul Williams' 1949 hit tune "The Hucklebuck" and Hank Williams' 1952 song " Jambalaya". Both crossed over to the popular hit parade and had numerous hit versions. Before the mid-20th century, the notion of an original version of a popular tune would have seemed slightly odd – the production of musical entertainment was seen as a live event, even if it was reproduced at home via a c ...
