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
