Therapy |
||||||
| Tomorrow Is Lost are a hard rock band from the UK formed in 2017, releasing two singles, 'Insane' and 'We Are The Lost', from their debut release, 'The Shadowman' E.P. which was released in December 2018. The band has toured as support to many international acts, such as Skindred, Kobra And The Lotus and Inglorious, and in 2019 performed at a number of festivals, including Bloodstock and SOS Festival. The bands first full length album 'Therapy' was released in 2020. | ||||||
| Tomorrow Is Lost have gained a huge following in their short career, pleasing fans with their high energy shows and "down to earth" mindset. Their eclectic mix of metal and rock takes in influences from many other musical genres, such as progressive, alternative and grunge, making their debut album appeal to a diverse and wide ranging audience. During my review of the bands 'The Shadowman' E.P. I compared the bands sound to legendary American all girl rock band Vixen, and the Canadian singer Alanis Morissette - that comparison is no longer relevant with regards to 'Therapy'. The band have grown, matured and developed their own sound, portraying a much harder, and wider array of influences. | ||||||
| The effects laden one minute eerie intro 'Intro,' breathes life into the new album as it begins proper with the bombastic hard rocker 'Wildchild'. Fuzzy guitars and a pounding rhythm push 'Wildchild' along at a fiery pace, setting a mildly aggressive tone as it thunders to a close. A mid tempo heavy groove sees 'Smile' slide in and stroll on with just a hint of attitude, "you tell me to smile but I don't have to" sings Cass King, the bands lead singer. 'White Noise' kinda struts forward with purpose and a deeper, more down to earth vibe that's really hard to describe - not quite melancholic or sad, or unhappy, somewhere just above those... 'Self Destruct' however, does slip into melancholy street, the same street where we find the power ballad tinged 'Black And Blue' - and it's at this stage that you begin to realise that all the song titles are telling a story... A story of reasons why people would need therapy, or reasons that will lead to therapy - maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm just letting my own demons tell me a story... | ||||||
| ...but whatever the reason, a heavy groove comes crashing in with 'Hideaway', a bombastic and highly explosive foray of fire. With seven of the ten songs on offer, less than four minutes in length, the album clocks in at a little over half an hour - a bit short for a modern day album, but it has so much diversity it doesn't matter what length it is. After all, quality over quantity right? The emotionally driven 'Too Young To Know' is beautifully sung by Cass, full of passion and angelic traits. Slamming you hard into the ground, 'Electric' is a forceful barrage that will knock you down, and knock you down hard. And now I'm wondering if my therapy theory is correct, and if all songs have been written about personal experiences that the band members have been through... 'Pause Rewind' is the most up tempo hard rocker the album dishes out. A hard hitting groove keeps 'Pause Rewind' bouncing along at a foot stomping pace. The final song is the title song 'Therapy' - a loud and proud harder rocker than 'Pause Rewind'. 'Therapy' (the song) is a corker, and ends the album on a high. | ||||||
| Overall, a diverse range of songs encompassing many facets of metal and rock, there is something here that everyone can relate to. | ||||||
