2.0 poorBedex | August 9th 19

I can see how this is their best, but their music still does not resonate with me at all. The run from 4-7 had me hopeful this could bump into high 2.5 to 3.0 territory, with some sweet riffage and cool intros, and lots of instrumental sections. Unfortunately, the multi-voice vocals and the overall wankeriness of the record ruin about everything else. The opener is awful and announces how the whole record is going to feel like. 8, 11,12 are also awful. The opening bit of track 2 is a good bit and reminds of bands like Ouroboros or Nile ahead of its time, but I'm really scraping the barrel here. Can't bring myself to rate this any higher than a 2.2

3.5 greatwesterndragon | February 16th 16

Intense riffage, excellent production, but lacking that special something. Seriously, with guitar tones this good it should have been a much better album. Clearly, the musicians have songwriting chops and they know how to write riffs, but there is something lacking in nearly every song that really ties together the musical concepts and holds your attention, it's probably the placid verses that seem to dull the intro or main riffs. Regardless, you WILL find yourself headbanging to this album, fans of Death Thrash should check this out!

5.0 classicDeanJKaufman | October 22nd 10

Its a great album, this and "The Heritage" are pure death metal
masterpieces, other great stuff from them too is "Golem" and "Leviathans Desire". I am a little bias because
I think Protector is the best metal band ever.
