Beyond words man...Srsly. One of the best CD's I've ever heard, lyrically and musically. There was not a single song that I did not want to hear more than once on the first playthrough. I actually listened to one about three times before moving on, and it was about 9 minutes long. XD
I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do - Robert A Heinlein
Breakcore drum edits usually push the boundary of rhythmical logic a little too much for my taste... This strikes a nice balance to my ears, between the breaks and the collage of orchestral motifs.
Not meaning to sound pretentious... but collage is the best way to describe it, as he basically sampled a variety of melodies from a bunch of classical recordings and made them fit with each other.
I don't get albums often but I'd heard some songs from this and had to get it. Hugely impressed by this band. I'm upset it took me this long to find them
Love this band, and this album is a solid entry in their library. I do heartily recommend the Special Edition over the standard, since it has a better compositional flow to it and a better-defined theme.
As the World Bleeds, by Theocracy and True Defiance by Demon Hunter.
Both of them are excellent and worth every penny. True Defiance carries the same flavors and scents of typical Demon Hunter, but returns more to a Tryptych or Storm the Gates type of sound. Negative in the complaints department, as they also carried over the pretty epic riffs seen more on The world is a Thorn, and as always, the same lyrical intensity. I pretty much love it.
As the World Bleeds is a tad harder for Theocracy than Mirror of Souls, but just as bleeping amazing. The band continues to astound mah face with lyrics praising God and riffs that scorch my face.
I loves them both so much. <3 Debating on whether or not to get a Saviour Machine CD along with the latest Eleventyseven album. I has teh money and no real reason (aside from bacon flavored breath mints) not to. O_O
That was also my only attempt to sound intelligent today. Savor it.
