The intro is a classical for a band with this name and I very much appreciate the artwork on the front cover!
This one sounds like the guys from Motörhead ('The Ace of Spades') but with the perfect melodic sound! I must admit I am not a fan of Motörhead, so what these folks do is just done in the best way. I know by now that not all are on this path of thinking, but that is just my personal way of thinking and compairing. The studio work is just perfectly worked out and very elaborated, simply brilliant! It's a hard hitter and I'm very sure that the fans will absolutely love it! Another thing I very much appreciate is the variation all along the cd! It's clear that they know what they are doing (it's their 16th album, so very logical after all). Those who haven't heard of this one should give it a try! 'Death Smiles at All of Us' is my favorite track (love the catchiness of this track, you cal sing a long after a few hearings)! The last track is even a perfect slow, very emotional and touching you to the bones ('Nothing to Believe').
It's clear that I will follow this band for a while! Thumbs up!
