This four-piece hails from Austria and with 'The Way of the Descent' they bring out their second album. The first thing that protrudes are the drums, they do sound a little bit hollow to me, but after a few songs you get a little used to that.
Sole Method plays thrash with rather heavy guitars and some groove in the songs. Vocalist Peter screams a bit like a hardcore singer and less like a thrash vocalist. The melodic guitars make the songs more interesting and sometimes the tempo is on full speed. When they play fast, it sometimes sounds a bit more chaotic and I have to say that the band is at its best when they play a little slower. In the song "Me myself and I" they use some keyboards and clean singing, this is a track that differs the most compared to the other tracks.
All in all, Sole Method are capable musicians who wrote a nice album which might be a little too heavy for the general thrash fan. The groovy songs stick, but when the tempo is high, they sound a bit chaotic. The vocalist is not the best I have heard, but that is not a big problem. You certainly should listen first before buying, perhaps it is completely your style, but be your own judge.
