Lars Ulrich isnt taking any chances with
his label, The Music Company; He is covering all the bases. From his nu-metal
superheros Systematic to his alt-pop rockers Goudie and now he is looking
to give Lenny Kravitz a run for his money with the release of Tragic Show
from Brand New Immortals.
The Lenny Kravitz comparisons are inevitable.
Vocalist, David Ryan-Harris, sounds like a cross between Kravitz and Living
Colors Corey Glover. However, the overall sound of the music is diverse,
ranging from funky hard rock to hip-hop, funk and R&B; all delivered
with a nice rock undercurrent. Its the perfect blend of these various
styles that we have come to expect from Lenny Kravitz as the leading artist
in the Sly Stone school of music. Brand New Immortals just prove that this
is a winning formula and that the marriage between rock & funk is timeless.
The songs are well crafted, each exploring
different musical roads while remaining memorable and providing catchy
melodies. David Ryan-Harris soulful vocals carry the songs while the rest
of the band dont rest on his laurels.
The most impressive aspect of this album
is the production; multi-layered instrumentation and vocals that harkens
back to Phil Spectors Wall of Sound.
Brand New Immortals deliver an impressive
debut and they were a great choice for Lars to sign to his label. The music
is there, now we have to see if the public has enough taste to give it
a try.

Brand New Immortals is my new favorite band! (Right next to DMB) They sound pretty much alike (DMB and BNI). Their style is just perfect and I LOVE it! You hardly find music like this around these days. Let Me Up is my favorite song of theirs :0)

I first saw these guys in denver and they were amazing live, and to my surprisement they played at my school two nights later!! They are so wonderful live and really nice guys, i can't wait till they come back to Colorado again!!
Posted by Dejavudu: Well, I haven't heard of 'The Brand New
Immortals' until today. The samples I listened to were phenom'. The song,
'If I had a dime', is on David Ryan Harris's CD. The entire CD is amazing.
Don't got it? Get it. I can't believe that he's not a Mega-Star yet. To
simply call him (David Ryan Harris) talented would be an insult. He is
in a class of his own. Deja

Katy: AWESOME CD!!! Best band to come outta
here in Atlanta, best song in my opinion is "Turn Around"

Stan (not Satan): David Ryan-Harris proves again that he
is a major talent. I rank his previous solo CD as one of the greatest releases
in rock history. On tragic show, paired with Colt and Cresswell, DRH surrounds
himself talent that is as equally up to task. It will be a long time before
this CD is taken out of my player.
