Release Notes:
Skypho is a Portuguese alternative metal band. Same Old Sin is their latest and
most ambitious project to date. The album was recorded by Ivo Magalhπes at Uncle
Rock Studios and mastered by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios, Sweden.
The band consists of Hugo Sousa and JosΘ Vidal, on guitar; Carlos Tavares,
provides the vocals and acoustic guitar; Hugo Oliveira, plays percussion;
Ricardo Fontoura, on drums; and Ricardo Aguiar, on bass.
After some quiet electric guitar strumming, on the opening track, s.d.s. along
with heavy bass and strings, the full power of this band and album are opened up
with Sleeping in the Monster's Bed, a full out gallop of power chords, heavy
bass and drumming, before Tavares' vocals scream out, "This is war! Is this what
you want?" Just a sample of what to expect on this powerful album that takes no
prisoners. This is heavy music with no apologies or excuses.
After that initial heavy opening the band settles down musically into more of a
Porcupine Tree meets Soundgarden sound. Some of the tracks are sung in
Portuguese providing their own uniqueness to the mix. However, Tavares' vocals
continue their rage and screaming power.
A ·ltima caminhada opens with didgeridoo and an Eastern vibe, mixed well with
rap like vocals, before the screaming begins again. It is probably the most
interesting track on the album.
Spirit is another standout track with its excellent acoustic and then electric
lead guitar set to Latin drums and regular vocals. The guitar strumming and
chord û work is the best on the album. However, the screaming returns to disrupt
the great sound that was building. The drum û work on this track and the entire
album is fantastic.
Jungle Syndrome opens well with cool drums and percussion, then didgeridoo.
Another of the best tracks on the album.
White Bird, with addition of "Diana" on vocals, is another stand out track.
If you like in your face vocal screaming set to power rock guitar chords, with
heavy bass and drums, you'll like this album.
