“Celebration Decay,” kicks things off with a warning sign. The alarms go off and the music hits a frenetic pace. The guitars are distorted to the max, the melodies slide into being and the listener is left wanting more.
“Pulse Of The Dead,” comes in like a battering ram, a song that immediately gets the listener headbanging and demanding more.
“Arrival of Desolation,” contains some fantastic melodies and harmonies, the result is a song that truly captures the emotions behind the lyrics.
“Any Last Words,” is ominous and filled with passion and dedication. The guitar work on this song is simply phenomenal.
“Asylum Of Blood,” rolls the stones and gets people’s heart rates going, the slow drudge toward the battering ram is well worth it, producing some fantastic melodies.
“Darkness Divine,” throws in an acoustic to cause some intriguing divergences. The song really gets the listener thinking.
“Long Way Home,” is a battering ram to the face. Filled with powerful riffs and soulful vocals, the song really leads the charge.
“Cold Blooded,” is a raging machine of a song, one that powers through and knocks any obstacles out of its way.
“Death Eternal,” hits hard and brings out the best melodies so far.
“Collision Course Disaster,” hits hard and drives the nail in. A song that is backed by that many grooving riffs has got to be worthy of consideration for song of the year.
“Masquerade of Good Intentions,” powers through. A song that shifts through gears and easily captures the mood of the times.
The album is out on 21st August via Steamhammer/SPV
