| 4.0 excellent | maninthebox | December 31st 14 |
This album came as quite a surprise to me, since I had always written these guys off as being a second rate stuck in the confines of typical folk and heavy metal tropes. Well, as of Severance I can say that these Ire landers are truly running wild within these parameters. The songs found on this release are epic yet not cheesy and pay enough tribute to the classic purveyors of this cult heavy metal sound while still being memorable. This album doesn?t stray at all from this formula though however said formula epic it may be. This limits the albums scope a little bit shackling it to this top #25 spot. Still this release is an epic emotionally impactful listen and definitely a reason to keep Darkest Era on your musical radar. Best songs: Sorrows Boundless Realm, Beyond the Grey Veil, and Scavenger

Strong 3.5; band is a cross between Grand Magus and old Paradise Lost.

Band finally became what they needed to from day 1: concise. The shortened songs
markedly increase the impact of...well everything. The vocals ring truer, the riffs are
tighter and smarter, but still fluid and progressive. Drums are more interesting, bass
is more prevalent, and the songwriting and the structure of the album as a whole creates
a smooth cohesive package with great replay value and solid longevity. A strong
improvement all around. Love this band.
