"Soulitude is a Spanish power metal projects evolving around guitarist Jevo.
Power metal, you say, oh no, not another friggin' cheesefest! It's true that power metal tends to get cheesy, but not Soulitude, my friend. On this album "The Crawlian Supremecy", the music is actually quite heavy most of the time, and Soulitude certainly belongs to the same end of the power metal spectrum as Nevermore.
There are plenty of thrashy parts on this album and also a lot of riffage of a more classic metal type in addition to the more typical power metal guitar riffs. Although there are keyboards and other electronic effects, it never takes the emphasis away from the guitars, the riffs, the twin leads, the solos and so on. There are also plenty of catchy choruses, as is typical of power metal.
And, the fast that the lyrics are about alien invasions and similar sci-fi themes just makes this album all the more cool.
Oh, and there's a surprise for Star Wars fans in "March of the Crawlians" (I'm sure most people will have figured it out by now). And for the Accept fans out there, Soulitude offers a cover version of "Fast as a Shark", sung in a thick Spanish accent (it's just charming, innit?).
While this is a great album, I think, there is one problem: the drums are programmed, and I think that a real live drummer would have contributed with a more dynamic feel to the album. I hope that Jevo will at some point hire a real drummer to record the drum tracks on the Soulitude albums and re-release them.
But, in all, "The Crawlian Supremacy" is actually a really good power metal album. Recommended to fans of power metal.
