TESA
HEARTBEATSFROMTHESKY (2008)
320 KBPS

After two Eps in 2006 & 2007, Tesa finally released their debut full length in 2008. Rather short (32 minutes), and containing only 6 tracks, Heartbeatsfromthesky is a talented display of post metal. The main influences here are probably Isis, Breach and Cult of Luna but the band, coming from Latvia, has its own sound managing both heavy guitars and tripping climates in a very convincing way. The production should have been better and the band certainly didn't have a good enough engineer and/or enough time to perfect their recording. That said, it's still a rather professional album, a band those into post metal should check and a promise for the future in a field now overcrowded with uninspired formations ready to jump on one of metal's latest trends. Something a passionate and emotional band such as Tesa is not. Be curious, give it a try and go to their website (http://tesaband.lv/) where their previous recordings are available for free.
