“Murder Of Crows,”slowly builds into the madness. It takes its time to get going and when it does, boy does it give everything that it’s got. A fantastic opener.

“Left Behind,” snarls with anger and rage. Turning the screws ever so slightly, the guitars really pound the listener into submission and the brutality in the vocals is something to behold.

“Dethrone The Gods, Control The Masters,” is simply phenomenal. A song that weaves together so many different textures to form a complete tapestry, and does it so excellently.

“Mere Shadow,” slowly works its way into being. Framing itself as a contrast to what has come before, it weaves and bobs, and then when the listener is least expecting it, it unleashes all hell.

“Porcelain,” slows things down, and gets incredibly reflective, ensuring the listener knows to pay attention and truly bask in the beauty of the vocals.

“The Hunter, The Hunger,” growls into being. Snapping those who stand in its way and demanding to be heard. A song for any occasion.

“Wasteland,” grows with power and pressure, turning the screws ever so slightly. A song that is sure to get people going when performed live.

“Barely Breathing,” comes in like a hammer. A song that combines so many different elements as to ensure that the listener is filled with energy and passion.

“Wallachia,” is an interesting song. It dips and dives and flaunts its wares.

“Daydream Tragedy,” a song that produces some interesting melodies and a little twist and start, a song that is meant to be played loud.

“Insomnia,” moves like the wind, bringing itself in gently, and then pushing incredibly quickly to reach perfection.

The album is out on 6th March via Frontiers Music.
