Milwaukee's A Tortured Soul return with their third album, the aptly titled "Lucifer's Fate". The record is filled with macabre surroundings, delving into the Lovecraft and Poe mythos with a calculated nod to European metal. The act combine the new wave sounds of Mercyful Fate and King Diamond with the more basic down-tuned tapestry of Black Sabbath and Candlemass. The vocals are a very odd breed, sort of a high register voice that is abstract in delivery. I was reminded of Death S.S. and this should appeal to fans of Celtic Frost all the way to Goblin.
