Desolate Ways first album – our now and here album – is really worth a listen. They are 4 pieces of musicians who are hailing from Brazil.

Their style is a mixture between melodic, heavy, and bit doomish tones, yet moody. It remind me with the style of a German band called “Darkseed”. It’s hard to classify them but they do make sense in their music. Lyrical, it’s a bit gothy.

The only thing that I couldn’t swallow in this band was their own lead guitarist. I didn’t like his solo parts. I felt like he got nothing new or creative to play. May be “Walls of Fear” was a good solo space for him.

When I first heard their vocal. He reminded me with James Hetfield. They sound the same. And I was pleased to know that he will (did) join a Metallica tribute band. I was right!

My favorite track for them called “ Sleep”. Starting with this acoustic guitar really meant a lot to the mood of the song.

Can’t wait to hear their new album. They are really great.
