 
Rolo Tomassi are currently embarking on a tour
to promote their current album, released this
week called Astraea. The album is much like their
live performance, powerful and gothic, with a
hint of a dark cinematic circus injected into
it provided by the organ synth that suits Eva
Spence's vocal screams and silent girl gentle
harmonies to a tee, the same harmonies that stops
you dead in tracks and completely changes the
tone for an entire verse which is In its self,
immense.
The Album is broken in by a calm collection of
synths that are joined later by a slow fading
drum beat which is met by the thunderous raw of
Eva that brings such flawless energy to Astraea.
After seeing the band live first before hearing
them I wasn't able to appreciate the true sound
of the band properly, but now I've heard them
for my self all the pieces fit together now and
I can understand why the stage lighting was the
way it was, I can understand why the crowd literally
begged for one last track from metal core Sheffield
lot, and now they can.
The album is in every way a masterpiece and would
be perfect for rockers of all ages who are looking
for something that bit heavier than the average
rock band.
I'd rate the latest contribution to Rolo Tomassi
collection an easy
5/5
