heres a pretty good review of the disc from www.gaspetc.com .......
Here is a nice surprise: a seemless amalgam of various crushing styles of heavy music. It's difficult to liken The Soul's Unrest to any single metallic subgenre, although this 7-song/26-minute offering comprised of the band's 2 demos contains plenty to sink your teeth into: crushing, disjointed mid-paced and fast riffs (technical but strangely memorable), savage, surly, decipherable vocals, occasional blast beats and judicious use of shifting dynamics and time signatures.
Chops-heavy, progressive elements abound ? in this case, strangely, adding to the overall pummeling nature of the music. Although TSU is not straight-up thrash, I'll mention that two recognizable moments of influence I can cite after a number of listens are some Destruction-isms in "Thunderbolt" (maybe even close to Morgoth's ?Body Count?) and the following track, "Though I Fall" ? though this is not a complaint. Sonics are surprisingly full for "demo" recordings, which really helps push this release over the top. The overall guitar sound is warm and not unlike a thicker Destruction.
It's great listen; and if there is any justice in the world, this band will receive some recognition. I can't wait to hear the newer material the band says it's been writing; hopefully a full-length is not far behind this.
