│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ http://www.myspace.com/cauldronmetal ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I seem to have ploughed my way through a ║ │
│║ collection of commendable releases in recent ║ │
│║ times, each with their own fair reason for being ║ │
│║ a listen I would recommend to fans of those ║ │
│║ sub-genres and now on Cauldron's "Tomorrow's ║ │
│║ Lost" I find no obvious reason for suggesting ║ │
│║ otherwise. Like on debut album "Chained to the ║ │
│║ Nite" and "Burning Fortune" the Canadians stick ║ │
│║ to what runs through their veins, the easy going ║ │
│║ but die-hard blood of heavy metal devoid of ║ │
│║ irony in itÆs pastiche of softer 80s icons like ║ │
│║ Dokken through to the heavier (for the day) ║ │
│║ types of Angel Witch, Accept and Iron Maiden. ║ │
│║ This subservience to riffing melody, up-tempo ║ │
│║ beats at comfortable volumes and songs singing ║ │
│║ of metal, love and life make the band an easy ║ │
│║ one to appreciate for anyone with any sort of ║ │
│║ background in (true) metal and a string to the ║ │
│║ bow of those of us who proffer to it being no ║ │
│║ less than a whole lifestyle choice. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Nine songs running from 3╜ to 5╜ minutes in 39 ║ │
│║ minutes, "Tomorrow's Lost" stylistically differs ║ │
│║ little from "Burning Fortune". Infact the ║ │
│║ greatest change has come in the artwork ║ │
│║ department, with a move away from the female- ║ │
│║ orientated covers of LPs 1 and 2 to the more ║ │
│║ typical apocalyptic imagery more commonly seen ║ │
│║ on death metal packages (I love this cover, ║ │
│║ though it seems a little dark for the music ║ │
│║ contained herein). The production is uncluttered ║ │
│║ and friendly with Jason Decay's vocals in ║ │
│║ particular the key focal point of the record - ║ │
│║ whereas I have felt earlier on in their career ║ │
│║ he was singing a different song to the ║ │
│║ instruments, his problem is more simple these ║ │
│║ days: a lack of strength and power that is ║ │
│║ considerably more problematic in overcoming. ║ │
│║ Still though, this doesn't seem to hold back the ║ │
│║ man and for that I give him credit: he tries ║ │
│║ hard throughout to hold feel with the music as ║ │
│║ is evident in "Endless Ways" and "Relentless ║ │
│║ Temptress". "End of Time", "Burning Fortune" and ║ │
│║ the grammatically-questionable "Fight For Day" ║ │
│║ are fast by Cauldron's standards, one imagines ║ │
│║ them being nicely interspersed in the live show ║ │
│║ to cordially invite long-haired types such as ║ │
│║ myself to feel involved, with Ian Chains adding ║ │
│║ the requisite solo break-aways from the very ║ │
│║ hard line rhythmic riffing which underpins all ║ │
│║ their tracks. Besides the faster moments are of ║ │
│║ course the slower tunes - "Born to Struggle" ║ │
│║ with it's delightfully simplistic leading riff ║ │
│║ and my personal favourite "Nitebreaker" when ║ │
│║ Cauldron's softer influences show through. ║ │
│║ Softer they may be but it is these that separate ║ │
│║ Cauldron from far more generic heavy metal ║ │
│║ revivalists such as White Wizzard and Wolf ║ │
│║ pedalling similar paths. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Cauldron have never attempted to rewrite the ║ │
│║ rulebook and I can say with some certainty ║ │
│║ little attempt will ever be made to do so, but ║ │
│║ it is their underlying ability to still write ║ │
│║ hook-laden and easily enjoyable heavy metal ║ │
│║ tunes of their own recognisable nature which has ║ │
│║ progressed them to a position of respectability ║ │
│║ within the scene today, a status which not all ║ │
│║ of their peers could lay claim to. On that note, ║ │
│║ I can attest for having reviewed many better ║ │
│║ heavy metal albums in my time but there must be ║ │
│║ some reason why I most often find myself coming ║ │
│║ back to the Cauldron. ║ │
