The guitar work in this album is fairly decent, its good but nothing we haven't seen before. The bass lines on this album are good when you can hear them. The vocal variety is very good i just wish they could add a little bit of clean vocals. Stand out tracks The Brighter Side Of suffering - Starting off with an intro guitar riff and drums, this song sticks in your mind with the drum rolls, blast beats, and guitar riffs. The breakdowns in this song aren't my favorite from As Blood Runs Black but they certainly aren't horrible My Fears Have Become Phobias - The first single off of this cd, has two breakdowns, interesting guitar riffs, and chanting. Nothing completely special but definetly not mediocre. Legends Never Die - One of my favorites off this album. This song has some of the fastest blast beats and double bass I have ever heard listen to around 1:48 in this song. Not only the double bass caught me in this song but the riffs flow very well. In Dying Days - another one of my favorites mostly because of the guitarwork (could be slightly biased as i am a guitar player). The drum work like most songs is quite good in this song to. Beneath The Surface- Amazing drum work in this song, great vocal variety, and good guitar work make this another one of my favorites on this cd.
