It's a good job I don't do music reviews.

Bella Morte are a band I really enjoyed live - very energetic and very, very charismatic getting the crowd really into their music and set.

I just recieved their new CD 'Beautiful Death' and... and it's a real disappointment so far. It sounds like they are flat and out of tune and is something I doubt I'll ever play again. They still come across as a Faith No More tribute band but they pull it off live so much better than they do on CD.

I'm only a few tracks in so we'll see if anything changes but today has not, apparently, been the best of days for new music purchases by me.
