Description/Reviews: 

The members of the band have an interesting combination of backgrounds, including Melodic Death Metal and Prog. They make it all work by taking the best musical elements of their influences and applying one, overarching theme to the album: pure, visceral heaviness. The main riffs to opening track “Betrayed” have an undeniably gritty feel, and the subtle guitar wails between verses give it a sense of strangeness and foreboding before transitioning seamlessly into the song’s passionate chorus. FACESHIFT amp things up on the next track, the wonderfully honest and thundering “The Lie.” Timo Hovinen belts out his thinking man’s poetry with tremendous power and presence, not unlike Matt Barlow’s earlier material with ICED EARTH, but as much of an X-factor as he is, “All Comes Down” really is a team effort. The infectious, bluesy leads add a bit of flair, as well as humanity to some of the less melody-charged processions, while Stefan Norgren’s earth-shaking drums take the album’s already considerable heaviness to another level.
