It has a cracking breakdown showing off the talents of <strong>Ellefson<\/strong> and drummer <strong>Paolo Caridi<\/strong>, with guitarist <strong>Andy Martongelli<\/strong>\u2019s slick riffs running throughout.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><em>SOAB<\/em> is angsty and a good song to play after a breakup as it builds you up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Throughout the album, the lyrics talk about hate and breaking down relationships. Particularly <em>Hate You, Hate Me<\/em> with lyrics like \u201c<em>I hate the way you make me feel when you\u2019re around. This is the war, you always try to hold me down<\/em>.\u201d And <em>Vengeance<\/em> is another. It\u2019s really in your face musically and lyrically.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Throughout the album, the guitar riffs are just beautiful and definitely a standout moment. This is particularly true with the instrumental of <em>Ghosts<\/em> as it\u2019s just almost three and a half minutes of stunning guitar work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Soto<\/strong> said: \u201c<em>The energy we poured into this one\u2014it\u2019s the sound of two lifetimes colliding in riffs, rage, and redemption<\/em>,\u201d and he was absolutely right. The entire album is in your face and a sonically masterpiece. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The guest appearances from <strong>Laura Guldemond<\/strong> (<strong>Burning Witches<\/strong>) and <strong>Tim Ripper Owens<\/strong> (<strong>KK\u2019s Priest<\/strong>) work really well. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/altcorner.com\/reviews\/review-ellefson-soto-unbreakable\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ellefson Soto released new album Unbreakable through Reaper Entertainment on February 13.
