Products similar to Stigmata - Arch Enemy
End Of The Beginning - Concerto Moon
Faithful to the studio material.
Poor production and no surprises.
Uptown Festival - Shalamar
A couple of decent tunes
Inconsistent
Melancholy - Iced Earth

Hides the band's more aggressive side, and covers are nothing special.
Terror on the High Seas - Battleheart
More energetic and powerful metal performance than the last E.P.
Less material.
