My, what a surprise. Ominous grumbles as the opening track to a metal album, complete with distorted, unintelligible gibberish in the background. Sure, a bit typical, but after that lameass intro, the album really takes off.
Combining driving drum beats and riffs that are slightly less distorted than typical metal with higher-pitched screams and yowls with true death metal vocals is a definite winning combination that The Black Dahlia Murder seem to have down. Cracked that safe in no time, really.
And how could a metal album be complete without a few solos thrown in for good measure? That’s right, it just wouldn’t be. Fortunately, this disc has them in a high enough quantity to keep the long-hairs happy.
The real disappointment with this album is that it ends so abruptly. It just flies by, then the next thing you know, it’s over. So, guys, how about a longer album next time? And also, stop with this make-up/break-up bullshit. Other than that, no complaints.
