The title track is the best loosely interpreted 'melodeath' track I've heard in many years.

6 tracks in and this is very solid stuff. Great diverse guitar work and the diversity isn't limited to the guitars. One thing I would have done differently is the vocals. Maybe a little more on the edge with more diversity would have added more influence on the music itself (not that the music itself isn't infectious enough because it definitely is). Although there are some harmonized vocals on some tracks and some Peter Tägtgren style vocals on "Inward Burst." The songs are almost immediate and reveal their strength almost right away.

EDIT: I have changed my opinion about the vocals. They indeed go very well with the music.

On second listen this is excellent. And the vocals are very good as well. I don't know why I thought in the first listen they could have been done differently when they are great the way they are. I suppose I wasn't paying my full attention to it. Everything is very well structured. I am impressed. I think I'll be ordering this.

Ordered.

Thanks a lot for taking your time to listen and write this up. Glad that you enjoyed the album, and eventually the vocals,
