Products similar to Unveiling The Essence - Cirith...
Once Upon A Time In The West - Hard-Fi
A couple of fairly okay tracks.
The rest are painfully bland and boring to listen to.
Once Was Not - Cryptopsy
Return of Lord Worm.
Irritating structural changes and missed opportunities.
Pagan - Cruachan
Combines folk and metal in a satisfying fusion.
Evidently searching for a more mainstream style, and failing as a result.
Parallel Minds - Conception
Powerful and creative prog-power metal.
Still predictable to an extent.
Paris - The Cure
New Wave & Post-punk - 2000
Phi - Truckfighters
Excellent guitar work, instrumentally the album is brilliant.
Not the most original album you'll ever hear, a fair few vocal weaknesses.
Postcards From Hell - Get Amped
An excellent display of melodic pop punk.
Those that don't like pop punk will probably absolutely hate this.
Prepare To Be Let Down - Ruiner
A decent album of hardcore punk, incredibly fast and fun.
Not the best album of this sort you will ever hear, no real depth of intelligence.
Procession To The Infraworld - Chasm
Solid death metal performance.
Less creative and thrilling than the last album.
Onwards To The Spectral Defile - Cirith Gorgor
Melodic black metal without being cheesy.
Over-reliance on traditional forms.
