O TEMPO

I have yet to taste their debut album so I am not able to fully say anything really clever about this band. But the South American symphonic prog scene is a lot more passionate in their delivery of their prog than their more cold, calculating brethren in the northern hemisphere. And Trem Do Futuro attacks the songs with vigour and passion.

Their sound is a mix of passionate heavy prog, some blues, Jethro Tull like folk and symphonic prog. There is a lot of violins, flute and mandolins here. That in addition of the usual fare of bass, tangents, guitars and drums. This in addition to male vocals.

The vocals feels forced to say at least. Punk like vocals at times too. Herein is a gripe I have with this album. Sorry, but the vocals is not to my liking. The rest of the instrumentations is good, although not the usual fare. I am referring to mandolin which gives their sound both an edge and an identity. The use of hammond organs also gives their sound an edge.

The quality of the songs are good throughout. There are some really good melody lines here. The song Trem do futuro is without doubts the best song here. The vocals and the bluesy two last tracks drags this album down though. But this is a good album and that's it, really.
