 TAD MOROSE Chapter X By George Mihalovich, Pure Rock Patroller Friday, July 6, 2018 @ 1:06 PM
For the uninitiated, TAD MOROSE's music can be described as a power/classic heavy metal hybrid with slight progressive tendencies. Chapter X (referencing their tenth
official studio recording) is another strong effort in this vein and on par with their last two offerings in terms of writing and production (which, by the way, is immaculate and was largely handled by the band). In brief, this means well-crafted songs with Ronnie Hemlin's powerful vocals (his tone and approach are very distinctive and individual - but not without precedent) completing the tracks provided by founding member Christer "Krunt" Andersson (guitars); Kenneth Jonsson (guitars); Johan Löfgren (bass); and Peter Morén (drums).
All of the members acquit themselves nicely throughout, with excellent musicianship and ample fleet and melodic guitar work.
The range of the material found on Chapter X is encapsulated in TAD MOROSE's latest promotional vehicles. The lyric video for "Apocalypse" touches on all of the previously mentioned elements: a progressive arrangement with crunchy guitars; symphonic flourishes in the middle section; and guttural/death vocals tucked into the background of the chorus. The "heavy vocals" are not really needed here and elsewhere that they are applied, but it is a specific creative
Cutting to the chase, Chapter X is 14 tracks of dark, power/classic heavy metal with a slight progressive flair that doesn't get boring or monotonous - and that is no mean feat.
Fans of the genre or any of TAD MOROSE's catalog can't go wrong with this release.
