"baby Killswitch Engage" and FREE MUSIC: Mortal Soul (Kenya)

Mortal Soul (Kenya)

The name of this metalcore band keeps popping up in articles, interviews and comments by bands. For instance, in issue 38 of this zine the band Skinflint (Botswana) mentioned Mortal Soul. This band started in 2010 and is based in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. Mortal Soul is Peter (guitars), Leon (vocals and guitars), Celeste (drums), and Young (bass).

Mortal Soul has a recording called “Ashes in the Wind.” Fortunately for those interested, Mortal Soul has posted some tracks on ReverbNation for everyone to hear and download. Also, you can stream the complete EP on YouTube, just type the following: “Ashes in the Wind – Mortal Soul (complete Ep stream).”

Cheers to Mortal Soul for doing what they want to do. They sound like a young band, learning the ropes, and getting experience. A quick way to describe their sound is to say that they are a “baby Killswitch Engage band,” although on this matter, the band specifically cites as influences: Trivium, As I Lay Dying, Bullet for My Valentine, and Metallica, as well as Creed, Foo Fighters and Linkin Park, amongst others. Be that as it may, I think listeners into the Killswitch Engage style of rocking segments and melodic components would find Mortal Soul as a new interesting group.

For Mortal Soul, determined to play this music in their particular circumstances, it is always nice to hear from listeners that support and enjoy the band’s work, so remember to send them greetings. This is a band working on finding its sound, and things are looking up. Let’s see what happens on their journey and where they decide to take their music. Hopefully, it only gets heavier and more metal. This is a good, solid beginning.
