This was one of the first melodic death metal albums I had ever purchased. After hearing "Misery's Crown" on Pandora, I knew DT was something special. I bought it expecting what I had heard in other melodeath bands: okay lyrics paired with okay vocals and lots of flashy guitar. That was NOT it. The overall blend of keys adding a subtle touch of sweetness to the brutality on top was amazing. To this day, Fiction is still my favorite DT album, followed closely by Character. |
