Swedish Melodic Metal . . . HERO?

Oh good grief...

I understand what Shawn is saying. It shows in the heaviness while still being melodic.

Nah, y'all are deaf.

Nah, your ears are work out from being daddy.

OK, I turned in my review...it should be up soon.

The Evergrey comparison stands, more in the mood and they way they use keyboard layers...then they have "depressing hooks" like Sentenced...I'll let ya'll read the rest of the review for more. More melodic than progressive for sure, but I never said they were progressive anyway...

I got it from Matt to along with the new Seventh Angel. And I agree with the Evergrey comparison in the way the songs feel or the mood or something, but they are a faaaar cry from Evergrey....I felt like I had to say that so nobody got their hopes up. I've yet to hear the whole thing though, I get bored with it after a few songs. The artwork is not my cup of tea either.

Yeah, the melodies and the mood/vibe has some Evergrey in it for sure..especially when you factor in the keyboards. But, that said, it's not as intense as Evergrey, or as musically compelx...more straightforward Melodic Metal with a dark vibe...

The vocals seem a bit buried to me too best I can remember.

If you dislike it, Rex. I'll give it a safe home fo ya!

I'm trading mine too, Kurt.

pm me

Done...though Rex may have beat me to it...

Dang, nope I'm just now seeing it. If anyone wants it, its up for grabs.

Your review up on teeth of the divine is waaaaaaay more favorable than I thought it would be. I'm stuck trying to get through this one.

I actually found myself enjoying it, except for that one song...which isn't a "bad" song, it just totally disrupts the feel of the album...
