Anyone into Tantric?
It's been awhile since I listened to newer stuff they wrote. Last Album I listened to was "The End Begins" . Recently I was listening to the 2001 Album Tantric which is just a fantastic Album and came across the rest of their collection. I'm checking out " The Sum of All Things" and so far pretty awesome. This is one of those bands I've got way into and they moved away from them for other styles of music. Coming back to them is refreshing, they are great.

    The first album is pure gold IMO, the second album was pretty good, wasn't fond of anything I heard after that, but when all the guys that were in Days Of The New left, and that was literally the whole band except the singer-Hugo Ferreira, it just didn't have that same feel..

    Days Of The New was fantastic as well, too bad Travis Meeks couldn't handle stardom, but he was what? 17 at the time? great song writer at such a young age..

    To sum it up, I absolutely love the first album by Tantric, overlooked, and underrated..

    Absolutely loved the first album! Unfortunately he became a bad Heroin addict, so bad he was actually on the TV show Intervention, I watched it.
    Dude was messed up!

    Man that sucks. Tantric was/ is fantastic. Are they done? Is his Addiction ruin things? I'm listening to them right now " I Don't Care" , one of my favorite songs they wrote.

    Funny you bring this up--Just came across a Days of the New song on a playlist a couple days ago then listened to their debut album and read up on them online. What a mess with Meeks. Didn't realize the connection with Tantric until reading up. And here you make this thread.

    Will listen some more.
