I feel like giving it a go. Melodeath isn't my favorite thing, but it's always fun to see if a record lives up to the hype.

Being the progenitor of the genre and not actually a genre album itself it's much different than you're probably expecting. More like death metal reverting to Slayer, rather than turbo-charged Iron Maiden.

These guys aren't reinventing the wheel or anything, but as far as the whole "modern" traditional / heavy metal sound goes there's a lot to like.

^ Friggin great.

On another note, recommendation for Batty here based on our shared appreciation of Empire by Queensryche. Very similar vibe: this particular album is a mid-90's metal gem.

Thrashy beatdown metalcore is the gift that keeps on giving and I don't give a **** how much all the bands sound like each other. Give me a million more and I'll still eat that **** up. And that is an awesome terrible metal cover.

This album is one of the greatest joys of extreme metal.

Lombardo's drumming on this might be some of the greatest ever.
