They also integrate the melodic parts seamlessly, unlike bands like Killswitch Engage, who have so many songs that are just heavy riffs and screaming during the verse and then melodic riffs and singing during the chorus, thats just become so formulaic and predicitble, so its nice to see HSB mixing it all together My one gripe is that the album is too long, all the songs are around the 4-5 minute mark, alot of the time they just repeat the same riff or motiff again and it kinda felt like some of the songs could have ended a minute or two earlier. Like most metalcore albums i just tend to get a bit bored by the end of the album which is a shame as a band with so much variety in their sound could have had me gripped for the whole journey if only the songs had been cut down a bit. But still a great listen, i'd highly recommend giving this a listenThe Warriors Beyond The Noise
