Listened to it last night and to me the only thing metalcore about the new album is the start and stop rhythm guitars found in some songs, apart from that it is purely melodic death metal. I do wish Chad used some more clean vocals (I only heard one song that had them) to compliment his death voice but this is a solid album almost on par with This Is My Blood and like akeldama said, the guitar solos are pretty unique. In Memory is a great instrumental song IMO.
