They are one of the most distinctive metal bands to emerge in the wake of the post-grunge explosion, a band fronted by vocal powerhouse Hugo Ferreira, whose unmistakable baritone rasp can be heard on the bandâs massive hit singles from 2001, âBreakdownâ and âDown And Out.â Now Ferreira and company, including guitarist Sebastian LaBar, bassist Jaron Gulino, and drummer Jason Hartless, are about to roar back to life with an impressively heavy and deeply emotional album, The Sum Of All Things.
The album is the product of a new partnership between the band, veteran producer Chuck Alkazian (Chris Cornell, Sponge) and L.A.-based indie label Cleopatra Records, and it certainly measures up to its title as it represents a culmination of all that Tantric have been working toward in their 20+ year career. Not only does the album include new songs that reveal incredible growth in the bandâs songwriting, with memorable melodic hooks and poetic lyrics on tracks like âTwisting & Turning,â âThe Sum Of All Things,â and the albumâs first single âLiving Here Without You,â but also finds the band revisiting the aforementioned breakout hit singles in spectacular fashion.
âLiving Here Without Youâ was chosen as the albumâs first single because of the rapturous reception it received at Tantric live shows, and itâs easy to hear why. The song paints a moving portrait of a love that entangles the soul and produces a powerful sense of yearning when taken away. Shifting back and forth from the sparse atmospheric verses to bombastic choruses, the songâs musical dynamics echo the push-pull dynamic of romantic passion and set the stage for Ferreiraâs resonant vocals. The band also shot a breathtaking new video with award-winning video director Vicente Cordero (Industrialism Films) that brings the albumâs cover art to vivid life.
