Bold claims, I know.

But I haven't had a metal album make me want to listen to it all and some more in a long time.

The vocals remind me of James Malone of Arsis, and the riffs, the fucking riffs, jesus. Outstanding guitarwork..great drumming with a MUCH improved drum sound over the last album.

The last album had a few good songs but this one is pretty much better than any metal album that's come out since 2000.

It was mentioned a week ago or so. The songs on their myspace are awesome and that album artwork is extremely awesome. I can't wait for this album to come out and I am sort of tempted to find it over the internet.

As for melodeath, I don't like much of it but this could be the best.

I heard a couple songs from their first album, and they seemed pretty fucking boring. Is this one really that much better? :\
