ELDRITCH – Tasting The Tears

Eldritch is an Italian-based Progressive Metal band formed a couple decades ago, and Tasting The Tears is their 9^th studio album. The thematic topic du jour in Tasting The Tears is “love” in all of its forms, which, as you can imagine, involves musical interludes that are fast and passionate, while others are slow and dreamy. Vocalist Terence Holler performs admirably throughout the release, but musically the album tends to come across as surprisingly uninspired. You’re likely to find nothing that will “turn you off” when listening to this album, but you’ll likely find those tears tasting bittersweet at best.
