Great album, only comparable to Eternium. Unlike that album, which was almost entirely mid-tempo, Icaros knows how to speed things up. I guess they figured the best song on Mimic 47 was Condition Red so they wrote more songs like it. :P The only songs I'm not particularly fond of are Icaros and Hammer with the title track being the worst song here. Why they even chose it as a single is beyond me. Icaros will end high on my top 10 list at the end of the year, something Mimic 47 couldn't do.

Killer!
:dio:
I was pleasantly shocked to see this album reviewed here. Diablo is so little known but I discovered them through a friend with 'Eternium' and was pretty blown away . I never bought Mimic 47 cause I heard samples and didn't like what I heard at all. Good to hear that they are back to the ass kicking sound of 'Eternium'

I hope The End Records gets this in soon so I can order it!

Where can you find this album seems the US stores like Amazon don't carry it?

Just judging from the samples of Icaros, I think the music sounds really good, heavy and melodic at the same time. It's just the vocals that completely ruins it. If they get a singer who can actually sing, they will certainly become much more interesting.
