Why?: Free on the cover of "Metal Hammer". I kept pronouncing their name wrong until someone finally corrected me. Thanks someone.
Tell me more!:
The kind of technically proficient but musically vacant metal that has flooded the market, and magazine-cover-CDs and caused me to cancel my subscription to Metal Hammer to dig deeper in the the doom/black/extreme metal genres, leaving this "pop" crap behind.
I'm being harsh, but that's the way it is. I really enjoyed Trivium when I first heard them, but when everything in mainstream metal sounds the same for over a decade (including Trivium), it's hard to stay enthusiastic.
"The Age Of Hell" has parts I enjoy, quite a few actually, but no parts are in the same song. I liked the Pantera groove-metal influences, the Thin-Lizzy double guitars, but the generic yelling vocals usually ruin the fun.
2/10
