Sounds like they are moving towards a thrashier direction.

That's the problem i'm having with the new material. I wish they would go back to their glory days of playing top notch power/speed metal. I'm not digging the vocals at all.

And then everyone would complain that they're just rehashing things they did 20 years ago. Bands can't win.

You are correct,sir!

"Trinity of Heresy" is definitely my fave so far. Cool tune.

me like those too

Ok, this is going to be a great album. Man, this year is ending strong in metal.

I'm not impressed at all. They need Andre Corbin back.

That would be cool.

But honestly I think the other guy (whose name escapes me) has done a surprisingly awesome job. Didn't know he was so technical because "Remnants of War" sure wasn't.

Awesome album! Pure headbanging delight. Definitely top 3 on my 2010 list.

I've been listening to some HELSTAR samples on you tube. Very good music. Definitely a must have

Oh yeah, he's a great player, it's just that Andre Corbin is in a league of his own. The guitarwork on Perseverance and Desperation is simply mindblowing. I'd kill to be able to play like that, haha.

Just got a promo of GLORY OF CHAOS to review for Detritus...the U.S. release is February 15th, I think.

On my first spin thru right now, and it sounds pretty good... it's definitely thrashier/a little more brutal than past stuff, Rivera still sounds great... and the bonus tracks are covers of Saxon's "Heavy Metal Thunder" and the Scorpions' "Animal Magnetism." Me likee.

That's encouraging, I usually like what you do.

Been meaning to pick it up,waiting for the price to drop a little

I got the promo...excellent stuff.

Finally secured a copy of this CD and am really diggin' it! BONE CRUSSSSSHHHHEEEERRRRR!

Got it and like it pretty good.The last couple of their albums have been very good.I still like King of Hell a little better though

That reminds me, I'm supposed to write a review of that damn album... will have to dig it out of the pile of junk on my desk when I get home.

I dig it. The song title "Pandemonium" kinda sums up the whole record. It's totally off-the-wall, screaming full-shred metal! So what's not to like??

I still need to invest in this band.

I like what i have heard on you tube.

This album smokes!! I only have one minor gripe, however. With the band taking a more aggressive and thrashier direction I feel they kind of under-utilized James Rivera. He's still got it!

I keep getting tempted by this one, I'll probably have a copy within the next month or two

I should be getting this shortly and the one before it.
