Tribazik – All Blood is Red

Releasedate: 02-03-2009; Label: Abstract Sounds
By: Sabine van Gameren

Tribazik is an UK based metal band which just released their album “All Blood Is Red”.

Trabazik as a name might have brought you into a direction of what you can expect, I would have guessed it would be extreme metal, but you can get really wrong if you judge too soon is a lesson to learn. You can expect a lot of different influences, but rarely the extreme side got touched. The band is kind of critical on the nowadays society, hitting political themes in their lyrics.

I found the music often surprisingly calm and therefore you are forced to put your attention to the lyrics and what the band wants to say. With all the effects the band uses there is a industrial versus nu metal atmosphere created, which fit perfectly with the band’s causes.
The band did a great job in keeping people’s attention since they have loads of surprising elements. The total production of this album is pretty nicely done. It could have turned out in chaos, but it is done nicely now.

Although I have said that I found the album calm, you should be aware there are yet many energetic moments and I am convinced that this band is a great one to see live.
