I don't consider this boring either for (well, see the review) The only thing here that may be boring is the firs Horizons of Chaos Track. The rest is ace, especially Leica, one of the best songs of the genre.

It has it moments, don't get me wrong. The keyboards are pushed so far back in the mix and some of the riffs feel a little stale. The wankery aspect of this album seems somewhat focused at least. Don't worry guys, I will give this a few more runs through.

I feel like the leads are never really wanky. They're insane and shreddy yeah, but they're always adding something to the song.

I agree with that. They don't wank out as much as some bands do (*cough* Necrophagist, who I still listen to quite ofter hahaha).

I love how the keyboards add more of a layer or texture to a song rather then sticking out like a sore thumb, see: Winds of Plague, Born of Orisis, etc.This Message Edited On 06.18.08

Hahahaha Winds of Plague abuse the shit out of their keyboards. These guys just need to turn them up just a touch so that they are at the same level as the guitar but not "sticking out like a sore thumb".

Well they will have a new guy doing keyboards, I imagine, so we'll see a change there and maybe in production too.



I heard these guys had a demo out prior to Akledama, has anyone heard it?

Yeah, it was posted in the news here a while back. I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. The new song had alot of backlash from this site (no surprise).

I liked it a lot too. I don't know why it got criticized so much when this barely gets criticized at all.

This is a decent band, people on this site often feel the need to slate anything that could be considered slightly "scene".

Awesome haha, dont make you a scene kid man ...was just saying cos this "tech death" genre is often associated with scenesters along with metalcore, post-hardcore, deathcore etc. that many people will never give it a proper chance and slag it off regardless of the quality of music.

tech death associated with scenesters? Whens the last time you saw one walking around in a necrophagist or cryptopsy shirt?

Maybe not necrophagist or cryptopsy but bands like arsis, the faceless, beneath the massacre, and even suffocation. We have a huge scene kid scene where I live lol, and loads of them have tops from bands like these.
