Tragik - Poetic Justice

..Winston: Always nice and welcome I say! Heavy melodic hard rock is always invited to come and make rounds in my house. With Tragik's first album 'Poetic Jusice' I received such an album for this month's issue. Phil Vincent, singer and multi instrumentalist can be regarded as the veteran in this band; he released nine (!) solo albums until now. With drummer Dirk Phillips he already worked before and together with the young guitar player Damian D'Ercole they created this very enjoyable album.

Firm hard rock like Deep Purple, Dokken and (early and present) Europe use to make means that full attention is there for vocals, guitars and melody. With two guest musicians (David Zychek en Billy Roux) added some extra guitar variation is offered as well. As a whole this album really hits, entertains and challenges you. 'Test Of Faith' for example can't be resisted to sing along to and this achievement is very well done by the band. Only down grader is the drum computer-like snaredrum sound that pops up here and there. Does that make it unenjoyable for me? No! A well deserved 89 for Tragik is given therefore.

Rating: 89/100 (details)

TRAGIK 'Poetic Justice' Escape Music (2007) www.escape-music.com

With a band name like this you've got to have a good album otherwise reviewers will have a field day making up bad puns to go with their reviews. Luckily this album is a good hard rocker with lots of modern touches, mainly in the synths/programming. The main driving force is Phil Vincent, who has been involved melodic rock scene since the mid-90's and has released nine solo albums to date. Joining him on here are guitarist Damian D'Ercole and drummer Dirk Phillips.
The opener 'Show The World' really hits the spot, a hook filled hard rocker although the next song 'Never Stand Alone' brings the tempo right down. A strange move as maybe another uptempo track would have been better suited here. Lighters aloft though for 'One Of Us', a classic melodic rock ballad. 'Jessica' is a heartfelt ballad that gives REO Speedwagon a run for their money! 'Higher' reminded me of Skin – big riffing hard rockers that stay in your head after one play. Good use of guitar and keys on this one. The only downside of the album is the amount of songs as maybe dropping a couple would make it a much tighter listen.
Good melodic hard rock from a underrated talent and worthy of your attention and ears!
