Not going to make this long winded....Metal bands have kind of been sucking lately. It's like we are going back to the "nu-metal" phase. ie dropped guitar tuning and heavy/thick rhythm riffsThis band does this, but sparsely (as it should be done) and fills the rest with AWESOME leads and licks that are almost otherworldy...until you remember that this is how guitarists used to play.The singer sounds like Soilwork's singer, but more honed sound. The drums are fantastic and so are the samplesI wish they had a lil bit more singing melodic parts, been there weren't few either.Great album if you like old-school Killswitch, Soilwork, In Flames, Sonic Syndicate
