Soilwork Chainheart Machine Heavy Metal Music CD Review
Chainheart Machine is the latest Heavy Metal CD put out by the highly group Soilwork and they have once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks. I’m confident Soilwork fans, and Heavy Metal fans alike will be pleased with this one.
It’s a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I’m more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There
simply isn’t a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it’s own.
Chainheart Machine is a nicely varied, mix of 9 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly talented musicians. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are their own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They’re all here.
Listen to this CD and I believe you’ll find there’s not much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired, the production is simply outstanding, and this is clearly the work of a group of musicians in top form. So much so that if you’re even mildly into Heavy Metal music you’ll enjoy this album.
While this entire album is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 4 - Generation Speedkill, track 7 - Spirits Of The Future Sun, and track 9 - Room No. 99.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore […as in “Stuck On REpeat”] is track 1 - Chainheart Machine. It’s a great track!
