I really like this album.

This is absolution, Still beats your name, Eye of the storm and break the silence are my favorite songs of the album.

Not a very technical album( it has no solos) but the riffs are heavy, the songs contain harmonies and melodies that are extremely catchy and Guttenburg influences are mixed in with a good dose.
The vocals, as mentioned in the review, are top notch.
The use of blast beats on Still beat your name, really elevates
their sound and makes you wish that had more of where that came from.


more like an 88/100 for me.

It's good, but the first one blows this away.

The first one or Alive Or Just Breathing? I think the debut is the worst; Alive Or Just Breathing remains the best.

+1 same for me here. I've heard some songs of the new album and they left me quite indifferent. They are an impressive band but not my favorites really.

I like the debut; I just find it to be a little too rough around the edges.

Good, but the last one was far better. 85/100

The Curse is a pretty good song; this seems better than their previous one, nearly as good as the one before that, about equal with the one that came before that.

Agreed with Dago, in other words...
