Finally some Belgium guys that don’t make crap pop rock music. The first and only thing that comes in my head.

They started out in the summer of 2005. In the era of fast and technical playing these chaps went in the other road to make melodic and structured songs which stick to the mind and have raw, clean vocals and modern metal elements. By doing this, this “melodic trash metal” band opened some doors. The chance to play on festivals with bands like Sodom, Death Angel, Ensiferum,….This is one kick-ass album with everything a metal head could wish for, slow/ fast/ melodic/ hard parts and more. Some track remind me of Channel Zero, let’s hope for our sake these guys make Belgium proud, but that’s just a matter of time.

89/100
