I was really exceited about this band listening to their old stuff and wanted to hear what they have been up to lately. A new album is finished and ready to release. I gave “Promo 2009″ a listen and it sounds very familiar. Is that Amon Amarth coming through at some points? Well actually the Germans are more varied and therefor a lot more attractive to me. But the vocals slightly changed from deeper Death Metal growls to higher pitched vocals which  sometimes even build a bridge to Black Metal. I do not know whether this album is really interesting or if it is just “usual” as it seems to be something inbetween. Again, the great guitar solos and lead guitars make the difference – otherwise this album would be very characterless. For all who are into death metal like Amon Amarth – this is for you – check it out!
