If you thought Soul Embraced’s last album
“for the Incomplete” was heavy wait until you wrap your ears around “This
Is My Blood”. The band kicked things up a notch with more guitars, growls
and screams. Soul Embraced started as a side project for Living Sacrifice’s
Lance Garvin and Rocky Gray where they could return to their “death metal”
roots. It now appears to have become a fulltime gig for Lance and Rocky.
While some will miss the experimental elements that made up Living Sacrifice’s
“The Hammering Process” and “Nonexistence” this is a whole new band with
a more stick to the core death metal sound. Lance’s drums are just insane
pounding mercilessly throughout every track and Rocky’s guitar chops have
never sounded thicker and when he breaks out and shreds a solo it just kicks
things into a ferocious ball of metal. Vocalist Chad Moore can growl with
the best of them but it’s the melodic offsetting vocals that are interspersed
throughout the album that gives the songs their melodic underpinning while
not sacrificing the group’s death metal credibility. Plain and simple
this album flat out kicks ass!

Posted by Paul:
Nothing on "This Is My Blood" is as good as "Ascend Into Thy Embraced", "Screams Unseen", or "My Tourniquet".

Great album,
but Thy Pain is better!
Can't wait for Soul Embraced next CD "Immune" Feb 24 2003, and Thy Pain's first LP.
