Someone lit a fire under Keith’s skin, with the exhilarating, Symbolic Hemispheres. This Debut album from Keith Davies is a step in the right direction and shows off his many song writing talents.Symbolic Hemispheres is fueled with aggressive rock. This album picks you up and throws you back down with a raw punch in the face. Strong guitar riffs gel together a wonderful array of musicianship that can only be described as exhilarating, and at times, heart-felt and tender. The title track ‘Symbolic Hemispheres’ is an inspiring instrumental that whirls its way through approximately five minutes of acoustic guitar. Harmonics and orchestral arrangements make the track come to life in a way that matures Keith’s song writing ability. ‘Guns and a Godless Government’ appears to be Keith’s homage to people like Marilyn Manson, the twisted vocals in the chorus make an interesting contrast to an already up-tempo song. ‘Destroy and Dominate: Save Ourselves,’ ‘Stabbing Daggers’ and ‘Terra Nova: 2213’ are all distorted guitar driven songs with almost ‘screamo like’ vocals mixed with catchy choruses. Songs like ‘Stolen – Welcome to Paradise’ and ‘The Field Where She Lays’ highlight Keith’s softer side and he doesn’t disappoint. All in all this isn’t a bad effort, if it’s raw talent and raw music you desire, then this is the album for you.
