This is one of the more bland and forgettable albums of Finnish metal I've heard, mainly for grounding itself entirely in American thrash that was already getting stale ten years previously. Performed by a group of adequate but uninspired musicians who presumably brought themselves up on Metallica, Slayer, Testament, Megadeth, Anthrax and the other angry U.S. imports of the eighties, the music is essentially bland old-school thrash, distinctly in the Testament style, with no updates or Finnish touches whatsoever. It begs the question of this album's point, outside of being a non-essential alternative for fans of the aforementioned bands. As noted, this is ...
Products similar to Agitation - Am I Blood
Revolution - Crematory
Continuing to evolve.
Electronic elements are occasionally too much.
Somewhere Along The Highway - Cult Of Luna
Goth - 2006
Last Night In Town - Every Time I Die
An incredible album of metalcore, fine vocal and instrumental work.
Complex song structures may put some listeners off.
True Nature Unfolds - Callisto
The best elements of post-metal in one package.
Offers nothing of its own.
The Ultimate: Redux - Tommy Bolin
Heavy Metal - 2008
The Pistol - Sounds Like Violence
A greatly emotional album which makes fantastic use of the guitars.
Not for those that don't like screaming vocals.
Karmic Ep - Nada Surf
Pop Rock - 2007
Dream Days At The Hotel Existence - Powderfinger
Catchy mainstream pop-rock
The odd pretentious lyrics or dreary moment, bit too middle of the road for some
Don't Talk - Clare Teal
Pop - 2004
Bedtime Prayers - Blinded Colony
Might be exciting if you've never heard the bands it's clearly ripping off.
Nowhere near the level of its influences, and far too repetitive.
