SOUL TAKERS
Tides
Northwind Records
 
Dramatic gothic hard rock is the style incorporate by Italy's Soul Takers.  Tides is a dark journey that incorporates mainly male (clean) vocals interspersed at times with female vocals.  Vocalist Dino Brentali sounds similar at time to Queensryche's Geoff Tate in terms of hitting the highs and lows within the same verse.  Brentali also hints at Tony Harnell from TNT. 

Musically, there is a great deal of emphasis on the piano in the mix.  While the songs are typically gothic with a flare for the dramatic, a good comparison (sans the progressive elements) actually would be Dream Theater. 

Overall, none of the songs really stand out and scream "metal!" but the "Tides" works more so as a good background soundtrack to ease into the day.
