After the absence of harsh vocals on their last album after lead singer Matt Heafy blew out his voice on stage in 2013, harsh vocals make their return. But do not expect drastic changes to their sound. More generic, repetitive rubbish with some mediocre riffing. The new drummer knows what he's doing, and I expect he'll wisen up to the folly of wasting his talents on Trivium like the last couple of drummers who've come and gone. Lyrically, it seems they're trying to give off more of an intellectual theme. Be it the title track warning of social media, Beyond Oblivion on the dangers of AI, or Thrown Into The Fire about corruptness in the Church, they're showing off that they're more than Metallica-lite, but not much more. The Revanchist is one of the highlights on the album, delivering a catchy, heavy tale. The Heart From Your Hate has to be one of the blandest, overused, repetitive songs from their catalogue in recent memory. Betrayer is the closest thing you'll get to Heafy's death metal roots and it ***ing slays. The re-recorded version of Pillar of Serpents on the Japanese version is probably the most memorable track in this sea of over-saturated metalcore. All in all, nothing mind-blowingly spectacular but decent.1.5 very poorBullet For My Valentine Gravity
