REVIEW:
( Soul Factor)Yet another in a long line of Christian metal discs to come flowing out of Brazil,Soul Factor sound like they have quite a following, from the crowd reaction and the chants of "Soul-Fac-Tor, Soul-Fact-Tor" in the beginning of the disc. Regardless, it's the music that counts. Soul Factor are said to be in the Sepultura meets Pantera school of thrash metal with some early death metal leanings. I wouldn't necessarily disagree with this comparison, but certainly they need a bit of work before they will reach the song writing excellence of either of those two bands. A big part of the problem with this live CD is it is recorded very harsh and sounds like little or no overdubs were done, making for a sloppy recording overall. The band just doesn't sound tight. The other problem is the lack of another Guitarist to pull off the solos live. When the Guitarist drops the rhythms for a solo, it just sounds empty with only The Bass and Drums remaining to keep the riffs going. Well, despite the fact that after several listens I can't get into this disc, I am holding onto it in hopes of better things to come. Certainly Soul Factor show promise. I Was Hoping their next CD was a studio disc,And Yes It Is!!,"Timeline" is Soul Factor's first studio outing and man, what an improvement over that live album. Improved production and musicianship really punched this band up quite a bit. Even the songs that were previously recorded on that live album are much improved here. "Messiah" for example is a smokin' death metal romp. The Sepultura comparisons are pretty much gone here, although there is some thrash influences here and there. However, for the most part, "Timeline" is straight up, old school death metal like early Mortification. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if Mortification was a huge influence on this band. http://www.soulfactor777.com/
