MY REVIEW
I first saw this band on Head Bangers Ball on MTV 2 in August of 2009, the video was for their first single “Forever the Martyr”. I was taken aback by the song, it was fantastic. Their sound was like Trivium, very fast riffs and a good singing voice plus a little bit of growling. It was nice to finally here a new heavy metal band that sounded more like Killswitch Engage, Sevendust and Nonpoint. Somebody that actually sung instead of just growling and screaming to super heavy riffs it was a pleasant surprise.
FINAL THOUGHTS
If you are a fan of Heavy Metal you will enjoy this cd, the only downfall I had was out of the 12 songs on the album, the first seven are fantastic, the last five unfortuantely are not as good. Unfortuanetly these songs have more growling and screaming in them and I did not like them. If you don’t feel like buying the whole album, hit up iTunes and download “Forever the Martyr”, “Confession” and “Last Goodbye” because you will not be disappointed.
