In Flames: A Sense Of Purpose.

Dangit. Dangit. Dangit.

WHY!!!!!!!

Oh In Flames whatever happened to your brilliant guitar melodies with three part harmonies and wicked guitar solos?

Seriously guys why...

They traded awesome guitar shred for bland boring "catchy" choruses with almost no good screaming. All to be the biggest selling swedish metal band of all time.

At what expense?

They have lost my vote as one of the best with this new album. Lackluster guitarwork, that is just leagues below par. I am sorry. But I just am not a fan... In Flames is gone, and it will be hard for them to redeem themselves from this boring album.

Cryptopsy: The Unspoken King.

UGH!!!!

Cryptopsy... Why did you fall for the idea that having clean vocals will make you popular? You are a DeathGrind band. It truly saddens me to see such greats fall to the mainstream pressures. And to do it so quickly.

This album is actually really really good from a musical sense. Well written and recorded, its easily one of their best.

But to call this Cryptopsy is almost Blasphemous.

Seriously guys... drop the name Cryptopsy, and rename your band with either, slaughter, massacre or murder in the name, and we'll call it even. Cause maybe even then I would like you guys, but to say that I like the new cryptopsy is to deny the band of the greatness that you deserve.

Please don't kick dirt on a band... your band... who deserves to be cherished forever for what they were, and are no longer. Lord Wyrm would have never let this happen.

Sorry for the random bad album rant, but here are some new noteworthy listens.

Nachtmystium: Worldfall Ep.

Agalloch: White Ep.

Thrice: The Alchemy Index III and IV

Origin: Antithesis

Arsis: We are the Nightmare.

Enjoy,

Austin Death.
