Style: Modern Metal core

A young Slovakian band that mixes modern metal with metal core. Especially the harsh vocals are particular core minded. I don't find that a advantage for the band. In my opinion this style of singing makes the album weaker and not better. Every now and then there are clean vocals and also on that part they still need to grow.

They add a lot of melody in the songs, but you can hear that this is the band's first album. Their music has influences of many melodic metal core/thrash and Swedish melodic death bands. For a debut it surely isn't bad, but they have to grow and try to create something that differs them from a lot of other bands. If they play a song of Mindstorm in a metal quiz, I don't think there will be a lot that immediately will push the button to give the right answer.

Thses youngsters surely have created an album they can be proud of and it is a good step in their young career. Nothing special, but worth giving a shot.
