I couldn't be happier with this release of this young band! Very powerful sound in every song! Some people may think this songs are all the same but pay attention and you'll see how good they are. I must say I wasn't expecting such great album after their last release, Thrill Seeker (released in 2005), because it was good enough already and it would be even harder to do a better thing... but they did it!
Their new songs have a bit more melody in some riffs but is good to see that at least this band didn't start singing like little girls. There are some really great parts in almost every song that will "kill" you. As you may probably know from the past release the drummer is very good and extremely fast and it brings not only the heavy parts we all love, but also some creative rhythms.
