Since their formation in 2000 they have released five studio albums, filled with melodic death metal, thrash, progressivity and some serious guitar work. Once sporting ex AT THE GATES vocalist Tomas Lindberg, the band now consists of Marios and Olof M\u00f6rck on guitars, bass man Anders Hammer, vocalist Antony H\u00e4m\u00e4l\u00e4inen, and drummer Jo Nunez. This new album has been much anticipated, no more guessing, here goes\u2026<\/p>\n<p>The sixth album (including a compilation), that surely means they are past the most difficult stages. They seem a relaxed band as they commence with an intro of ok style. But \u201cDelirium of the Fallen\u201d is the sign of greatness. The guitar patterns marry well to the melodic refrain, and there is so much inventiveness within the framework of really forceful metal. They actually repeat the master touch two, almost three, four times over. The refrain based \u201cThis World Is Coming to an End\u201d mixes the greatness of most classic metal with today\u00b4s brutality, \u201cCloaked in Wolf Skin\u201d is rally cheerful and melodic brutality, and they\u00b4re almost followed by the only an inch less entertaining \u201cUtmost End of Pain\u201d and the RUNNING WILD-reminiscing \u201cPoignant Memories\u201d. I will emphasize that the only bland moment is the rather pointless instrumental \u201cEmblem of Light (Outro)\u201d, but that is the very last 1.05 of this dazzling album. The rest is a cut above. It seems so effortless and clear, but there must be a reason no one\u00b4s done this good in a long time. The band is touring the states right now, watch out for an interview later on next week.
