Broken Edge - Unleash My Soul

The album starts extremely strong with a great song called, “Kill Your Gods.” From the mind crushing lyrics to the wicked instrumental parts this song causes me to want to break my chair. Then the guitar solo leaves me speechless as the guitarists lets high pitch harmonic notes ring after doing some quick fluid note sweeps. Right when that song ends the next one called, “Marching With the Fools,” enforces Broken Edge’s aggressive style of playing. The singer pronounces each vocal line with tremendous rage and the lighting fast heavy rhythms perfectly compliment the song’s attitude. Another great track on this album is “Stone Cold Evil.” The main guitar riff has a heavy thrash groove that is catchy and gets the head banging. Again, this singer delivers fierce emotional sounding vocals that never seem to loose their effect. Also, the guitar playing keeps getting better and the solos are definitely a high point on this album. I think song five, “I Will Come Again,” is my favorite song because the guitar playing is extremely technical along with the drumming. How Broken Edge is able to combine multiple technical parts into one song is truly unbelievable. Their consideration for detail and ability to capture every explosive sound makes this album stick in the listeners mind to where they will want to play certain songs over and over again. 

Now, Broken Edge’s music may not be the music you want to play if you are trying to relax, but if you are looking for a high energy emotional release then I recommend this album without hesitation. “Unleash My Soul” is another great example of how a heavy metal album can allow people to forget their day to day frustrations by listening to good loud head banging music. The first time I listened to this album I instantly started moshing around my small dorm room. These guys delivered an awesome album to which I thank Broken Edge for keeping the Heavy Metal spirit alive and head banging.
