Soulmass - The Weakness Of Virtue

Review by Molly Moore

Soulmass' album The Weakness Of Virtue is a stunning display of the band's musical prowess and creativity. From start to finish, the album takes listeners on a journey through a variety of moods and emotions, all anchored by Soulmass' signature brand of heavy, atmospheric metal.

The album's opening track, "The Awakening", sets the tone with its haunting, atmospheric intro before launching into a powerful, driving riff. From there, the album moves seamlessly through tracks like "The Serpent's Tongue" and "The Fall", which showcase the band's ability to blend crushing heaviness with melodic hooks and intricate instrumentation.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Absence", which features a guest appearance from vocalist Mikko Kotamäki of Swallow the Sun. Kotamäki's haunting vocals add an extra layer of emotion to the already powerful track, making it one of the album's most memorable moments.

Summary by Molly Moore

The Weakness Of Virtue is a masterful album that showcases Soulmass' ability to create music that is both heavy and atmospheric, while also being emotionally resonant. Fans of atmospheric metal and heavy music in general should definitely give this album a listen.
