The new school of North American Metal has many commercially successful names, asand many others. They’re pretty good, indeed, but there are some names that really deserve to grow, to be known for a broader and greater public, and one of these names is from Chicago based quintet, because these veterans are hard to break and to be tamed by difficulties. Their latest album,, is fine piece of Metal.Their musical work is not as easy to be labeled. Sometimes playing wild and greasy as a Thrash/Groove Metal band, on other using charming and accessible melodies, they really have a great and strong musical work that sounds aggressive and melodic, thunderous and deeper, energetic and accessible, and always personal. Yes, they’re pretty good. And the guitar solos, something that many bands are forgetting the use, are presented in a great way, indeed.produced the album, creating something that is clean and with very good instrumental tunes, in a way that doesn’t sound greasy, but defined. And everything can be heard clearly, even the smallest instrumental arrangement. And the cover, done by(an artist with works done forand) emulates the old and good cover for heroes’ magazines, but depicting the band. Ten excellent songs are presented on, but the mix between groove parts with deeper melodies shown on(very good chorus, and excellent vocals), the bitter harmonies and catchy chorus of(great guitar riffs and solos), the slow impact and melancholic feeling of(another fine work from vocals), the brutal and harsh NYHC ambiance of, the power ballad (a slow and melancholic with an aggressive chorus)(the bass guitar and drums are really great on this song), and the perfect heavy onslaught imposed on(another excellent moment from the guitars) are the greatest songs of the album. But their personalized version for(yes, the old’s battering ram) is something that no one can miss (especially because bass guitar and drums are putting new elements on the song).has come to show thatwill not stop so easily. That’s how old Metalheads are: to give up is something that can’t be excused. And they have a place on the scene, obviously!Musicianship: 9Songwriting: 10Memorability: 9Production: 9
