Well, you gotta have guts for a death metal band to come up with a cover such as this one. Imagine a photograph of an elderly black man against a pitch black background. Only the logo of Tinnitus seems to suggest you're not dealing with Uncle Joe's new black gospel album. No, on the contrary, this two song disc contains slow, melodic death metal tunes. Tinnitus made progress since their last effort with a better production and improved song writing. The first track, Soul Escape, has some real nice riffs and an excellent guitar solo. This is not the kind of harsh metal some might love. It's rather a gentle, melodic sort of metal that's in nice contrast with the raw guttural outings of singer Fredrik Kass. The title song is not as radio friendly as it is more monotonous in sound. Song one makes me want to hear more. Time for the real stuff?
