TARSHA: Prophecies

Prophecies

© 2006 TARSHA (837101265263)

CD IN STOCK. ORDER NOW. Will ship immediately.

Sheldon Tarsha has undergone superhuman metamorphosis with his new album, Prophecies. He is now simply TARSHA, and at the risk of stroking his humble ego way out of proportion, I'd like to now refer to him as the ‘Apocalyptic Messiah of Rock’.

notes

Prophecies is cathartic, going from "Dirty" to "Generation-H", from original sin to exodus to a place of unity and harmony. This is what's been missing all year--something epic, something about the human race from birth to death and all that's in-between, a story of biblical proportion from a unique and sincere perspective, speaking to individual hearts as well as addressing humanity at large. This album is so huge, so cult, it's classic. I already had total respect for Tarsha as a top notch songwriter and musician with his 2005 self-titled EP, but he's grown to be so much more; he has a real vision and things to say with his first full-length album. He's got it all--pitch, control, power, tone, and phrasing. He's a precise and lyrical player. I can say that his metamorphosis is complete and he's well on his way with a killer package to tour with this coming year.

I was particularly blown away with "My First Hit" and "Buried On the Inside" (his voice sounds great! Interesting chord changes in this song, too), though I also love "Ten Stars Away", "Skeletons", "Cynical Christ", "Let You Go" and I'm quite moved by "Generation-H" with that sweet guitar opening through which unfolds a third eye-opening, transcendental coming home anthem. "Why Fight" and "Modern Day Exodus" are important pieces on the CD and give greater meaning to the whole.

Overall, Prophecies is driven by contradicting desires for sex and purity, fantasy and truth, and a courageous call for peace, all delivered with a modern edge and unparalleled command by the most outstanding male rock voice of our time! Job well done! If you want something refreshing, skip the superficial, carbon copy, thoroughly played out scene, and buy Tarsha's new CD, Prophecies, and count your lucky stars for the long-awaited Second Coming.

Sheldon Tarsha Breaks Guns N’ Roses Connection with Ambitious Effort

Acclaimed Rock Vocalist Releases Solo Debut

Having spent years in Hollywood fronting various bands, Sheldon Tarsha was a renowned, although relatively unknown, artist. In 2003, he emerged from obscurity when he was named Male Vocalist of the Year in a national singing competition, and performed live on the US-syndicated 'Mark and Brian' radio show. He recorded a best-selling EP, which won him 7 International Songwriting Awards from Billboard, Independent Music Awards, International Songwriting Competition, and Song of the Year.

Tarsha capitalized on the buzz of his newfound notoriety by immediately hitting the live stage. A fiery performance of the classic rock anthem, “Welcome to the Jungle”, caught the attention of former Guns N' Roses member Steven Adler, who co-wrote the song as well as the host of others on the seminal rock masterpiece ‘Appetite For Destruction’. He offered Tarsha the gig as lead vocalist for a world tour with his own band, Adler’s Appetite. They performed for hundreds of thousands of fans. In true Rock n’ Roll spirit, controversy was never far behind during their trek. In the midst of speculation of over-indulgence of the rock star lifestyle, Adler went AWOL in Europe. The band returned home amid much scandal and publicity.

Like the phoenix, Tarsha has risen from the ashes of Adler’s Appetite, vowing to continue his Rock n’ Roll mission. Scheduled for official release in Jan. 2007, Tarsha returns to the spotlight with his first full-length, self-produced album, 'PROPHECIES'. Already being hailed as a modern rock tour de force, ‘PROPHECIES’ shows Tarsha at his best. Blending a contemporary heavy sound with the kind of old-school rock, which is now experiencing a resurgence, Tarsha is in ready position to dominate the rock world. Working with top names in the industry, he has cultivated a worldwide fan base and will tour internationally in support of the new album.

    Every now and then comes along an enchanted voice and instantly you know this artist “gets it.” Sheldon Tarsha is that voice! Prophecies is the hardest hitting rock CD to come along in a while. Each song is uniquely different from the last, yet as a whole it is a magical experience into the mind of a genius. From a consumer who has wasted thousands of dollars on CDs with only one or two great songs, Prophecies is gold! Every song, every rhythm and every riff is perfect to the ear. This is a metal heads dream record. Truly, Tarsha is a modern day Prophet and Prophecies is the work of a mastermind!

    02.05.07 At the ~~SS~~, we listen to and review a ton of music everyday. Even though we are one of the few stations playing unsigned or indie bands, most never make it on the air. It’s not that we are anything special, but our listeners are! They know what they want! Case in point Tarsha. Sheldon has been around along time. We have seen it all come and go and it takes a lot to impress the gang here at the ~~SS~~. Enter: IMPRESSED! Sheldon Tarsha is one of those gifts from the Rock Gods that, when you hear him, you just know the Gods are throwing up the old horns right in your face. Crank it to 11, and if you still don’t get it, you need to grab your Ipod and go back to listening to whatever crap is on it ;+) Like we said, we have seen and heard it all, and the impeccable attention to detail that Tarsha exhibits is rare. Sonic brilliance is rare, and so is real talent, both of which are in abundance here! Tarsha is what the ~~SS~~ is all about. Thanks Sheldon for giving us... PROPHECIES!

  • You Nailed It!

  • Hairball John - Rapid Review "Prophecies"
    author: Hairball John

    After spending most of 2006 touring the world as the front man for Adler's Appetite, Sheldon Tarsha kicks off 2007 with his first full-length solo effort entitled "Prophecies". Tarsha's passionately powerful vocals and excellent songwriting combined with a modern sound built on classic metal riffs makes it the complete package. With rockin' stand out tracks like the opener "Dirty", "Cynical Christ", "Why Fight" and the balladish "Ten Stars Away" makes "Prophecies" a real force to be reckoned with.
