Oh Murder by Death. The things you do to me... You will rarely find a band with so much creativity spewing out of them as Murder does. The fantastic use of the Cello evokes a very western feel in the music made all the more noticeable with the vocalists (Adam Turla) then new vocal style, instead of using a more modern rock singing voice opting for a Baritone style voice. The beautiful combination of the cello and vocals create the sound by which the whole album is made from which isn't to say the rest of the band is just hanging back. Oh no everything the band is doing insures that everything the album is doing whether it be the more upbeat bar brawling track Brother or the gorgeous, somber tune that is Shiola is just as brilliant as anything you could hear from the finest of bands. Nothing is comparable to the simple rugged beauty that is In Bocca al Lupo (in English means in "Into the Mouth of the Wolf"). Every song on the album is in some way related to the hard life of the Old West that anyone has fantasized over at some point in their life and for good reason as that era has some of the greatest fantasies unrivaled by little else. Pour yourself some whisky and sit back enjoy this album and think of the Old West and its ageless beauty.Get it here
