With the stupid name of the album aside, Decadence[. . .] is a grade-A - or at least high-B - blueprint for how modern melodic death metal should be played. In fact, if the obtuse and saturated subgenre's stockpile of bands played shit more in line with this - not that keyboard-drenched, cleanly sung, been-there-fucked-that mess - than I am almost certain half of metalheads everywhere could at least tolerate the music again, like many used to. Centinex, on this release more than any other of their discography, balance melody and aggression just perfectly, not compromising their intended mood and atmosphere in the least. Just forget the rest of their releases, really; they're of no consequence. Decadence[. . .] is all you need bother owning at the end of the day.
