Now, while I am not an all-out extreme metal listener, I do listen to quite a bit of it at times. After a few years of it though, I find that many bands, new and old, start sounding alike. That si great, but it gets a bit tiring when you almost can't tell one band from another. So, wth so many hardcore, metalcore, death metal bands to choose from, I admit, it can become a blur of heavy music often

I received this CD a couple weeks ago, right before it hit the shelves, and while I wanted to listen and jump right in with an early review, I decided to wait, listen more, and let it sink in.

I admit, I did not discover the band until their second album was released, but at the time I was immediately impressed with the sheer power and feel of their album; and this time around it is no different. For me, this band stands above many other in their genre for a few main reasons:

War of Ages - Eternal

This fourth release from the PA metalcore quintet is a big leap forward in all areas - production, maturity and power. Not a drastic change musically from previous releases, they have taken the same warrior metal style, and pushed it to the next level.

In my early days of "getting into" the heavier metal/metalcore/hardcore/scream music (being mainly a melodic metal fan previously), this band was one that immediately grabbed me, and I liked them from day one. When I got my hands on this new release I was thrilled with expectation, and that expectation was fulfilled with what quickly became a favorite release.
