Bulldog Music Reviews: Thousand Foot Krutch-Welcome to the Masquerade



TFK has been one of those bands that have been slowly climbing in popularity. it doesn't seem that these guys have made it with one song or album, they have had to work at it a lot longer than many bands! that being said they are not also falling off the map right away after that one song or album. these guys have continued to put out solid album after solid album. they are consistent with bringing us great music, amazing music? im not sure but great music with not one poor album gives them some cred.

Now everyone that reads anything i write about TFK knows that my favorite album to date is set if off. I love every song on that album and liked their sound on that album that i wish they could go back to and every time i see them live i yell "puppet" or "unbelievable"! alas i get no such luck, TFK has gone for a more hard rock sound that i admit has worked for them, i just wish they would bust a rhyme from time to time. ha!

When I look at the past few records for TFK there are a lot of solid songs that have made it to my all time fav's playlist like Absolute, Move, Falls Apart, Flame in All of Us, Phenomenon, and Rawkfist. When I look at their latest album songs like Welcome to the Masquerade, Fire it Up, and Smack Down make some of their best new songs! These songs bring the TFK energy that we all love as Trev blasts his impressive highs and even more impressive lows with his vocals.

When looking at TFK you cannot overlook the raw talent of Trevor McNevan who has had a hand in bands like FM Static, Headspace, Hawk Nelson, Oddball, and Three Days Grace. Trevor is definitely a busy man who loves music and continues to pour his life into it. For a TFK album "Welcome to the Masquerade" is not my favorite, but it is definitely worth listening to, especially when one of their tracks makes the sound track for NHL 10.

Trevor also helped write "Ignition" for Tobymac and a couple of songs for KJ-52. Check out his myspace. Google Teerawk Music and publishing.
