Album Reviews: Ghost Of A Former Self - Avacate
by Gary Smith
Avacate, Bristol based alternate rock band, have released their album, 'Ghost Of A Former Self' through Inner City Grit Records.
Avacate (pronounced A-Vacate) are a female-fronted alternate rock band with a unique industrial twist. GigReviewer.com have been very lucky in receiving a copy of their outstanding album for this review.
The album kicks off with a really cool, catchy guitar riff... after a single beat... which grabs your attention immediately. The vocals come in beautifully and start to soften the blow without losing any grip on the music.
The band have a very distinctive sound, which is a good thing, and they never let a beat drop and always keep the high moving and progressing into new territories.
The album as a whole is one that you would have to listen to again and again, and always seems better the more times you listen. Ghost Of A Former Self is a very strangely addictive album.
One of the key tracks to listen out for is 'Magdalene', which is their upcoming EP, which has all the industrial grooves that you would expect from Avacate, along with some very haunting vocals which will make this a great CD to purchase!
You can read some more on this single in our interview we have already had with the band prior to the album review.
The album is also full of very good drum tracks, smooth bass-lines and effective guitars compressed and forced out with the use of the FX they have created.
You can hear more from the band, and find out details on purchasing the album for yourself on their Myspace page. Be sure to be-friend them!
GigReviewer.com hopes to hear lots more from Avacate in due course...and the best of luck to them on their tour of Holland in the next two weeks!
