Tantric
The End Begins (2008)
Tantric, back... and here to stay!
Tantric's founding members may have quit the band, but does
this keep Hugo Ferreira (lead vox) down? Instead of throwing in the towel, like many others would, he strives
on... pushes forward to show people that Tantric is not dead! And the release of their new album, The End
Begins, definitely shows us all that Tantric is not dead... and they're back and better than ever!
Hugo's voice hasn't changed any - still as mesmerizing as ever, but the talent that oozes out of the band has multiplied
by ten. On top of the list is the new sounds provided by their electric violinist, Marcus Ratzenboeck. The
addition of Marcus' string talent is a welcomed addition to the otherwise boring rock scene that overwhelms the airwaves.
That, with great writing and a surprise collaboration with Candlebox... makes this definitely something to check out!
Stand-out Songs: Regret, Down and Out, The One, Love Song, Wishing
