This band could be killer. Sadly, they're just like Trivium was one their first two albums—great music, horrendous vocals! The clean vocals kick ass on "The Reaper Waits," but those screams are simply fucking horrible.

I really wish these stupid bands would quit screaming just because it's the popular thing to do. If this band got a better singer—this guy couldn't pull off an aggressive style; he's too girly—and sang aggressively instead of screaming, they'd probably kick a whole lot of ass. The music is solid, the solos are interesting and don't sound like scale practice routines, but the vocals are crap. Just listen to "The Reaper Waits." The chorus is really cool.

They're good but not great, a lot better than Trivium that's for sure

Craig's been moaning about these guys for ages. Their debut songs were sort of better - the clean singing was quite unique - but they've gone to absolute shit.

Yes, horrible vokillz, saw these guys on Headbangers Ball a couple of years ago, actually, they are kind of annoying!

Sounds Like: Modern metal with a classic twist. Blending elements of thrash, hardcore, power metal, old school, black metal, battle metal, death metal & even a bit of rock 'n' roll. Sweeping solos, lightning drumming, angry vocals and huge choruses.


:rolleyes:

haha they're friends with Sonata... The instruments are all good, but the vocals suck... Actually they're a lot better than Trivium INSTRUMENTALLY...

They fucking suck, they're an embarrasment to Glasgow. Go listen to Syth or Argonath instead.

They're very good instrumentally, but the vocals are absolutely terrible. Ugh.

Ascendancy was way better than that (I think the vocals on Ascendancy were at least decent), but if they ever get a better singer I think they would probably be better than Trivium.

...it's weird to hear decent melodeath with totally emo/metalcore singing.
