If the listener thinks Walk With Evil sounds like a dark, brooding metal album, then he or she is at least half right. The Trophy Husbands, it seems, have a musical split personality, veering between dark rock and depressed alternative country.

If the listener thinks Walk With Evil sounds like a dark, brooding metal album, then he or she is at least half right. The Trophy Husbands, it seems, have a musical split personality, veering between dark rock and depressed alternative country. The venomous "There Ya Go" and "Piss on Your Grave" lead one to imagine new superlatives for misanthropic. Perhaps it's better that the lyrics to these songs aren't included. On the other side of sorrow are the country-flavored "Sad Girl" and "Burnin' the Candle," songs just as downbeat, but in a fun tongue-in-cheek manner. A quick look at the song credits provides a partial clue to this split: the first are sung by Kevin Daly, the latter by Dave Insley. This makes sense -- at least until one learns that Daly has written "Sad Girl," and that he sings the lead on a foot-stomping version of Ernest Tubb's "Educated Mama." While this is a bit confusing, the bottom line is that the country-flavored material works much better than the rock. "Hypnotized" and "Grace" may be dour, but they're dour in a fun, postmodern way; the title track, on the other musical hand, is severe without any respite. Unfortunately for the Trophy Husbands, the two styles don't really mix. No Depression fans, however, will enjoy the twang-influenced songs on Walk With Evil. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford Jr., Rovi
