Customer Reviews

Consider the stops officially pulled out
Okay. >Imagine< a band with extremely melodic guitars, breathtaking speed, the most abrasive and brutal roars you could ever commit to music, clean vocals that sound like they come from men instead of whiny teenagers, songs overcharged with aggression but retaining and promoting that essential emotional atmosphere, with thought-provoking positive lyrics about life and a few of atmospheric instrumentals. Now...stop imagining. The CD is right in front of you. Click Buy. This album has about it a forceful power of pure aggression combined with a beauty and completeness rarely applicable to music these days. Oh, and when the guitars feedback at the end of a song, prepare yourself...the track that follows will undoubtedly jolt the heart of the unwary listener!

Strengthen the spirit
The power of this album lies in the doubtles commitment that comes from hard work and a cause, that reaches beyond mere profit and the lords of this world. The track "Bury us all" has the immense power of a steamroller and the speed of a Hummer. When you add the christian truth from the chorus: "this is our chance - our time to stand" - the spirit of the old days rises from the ashes. Thank you guys - Gods speed!

An Ocean Between Us
This album has a different feal to it than the last as i lay dying ones. The album seems more solid and it show the bands progression, probably because there is only one member change since the last album, which for this band, is quite an achievement. It's very fast paced, even the ballad type songs are mental. Tims lead vocals are really strong and the addition of more back up vocals than the last albums, adds another dimension to the band, and leads to catchy chorus' too. As always with AILD, you get the wickedly fast drums and guitar rifts that never cease to disapoint.
I haven't got a favorite , or least favourite song yet, just beware when first listening (really loudly) when you go from the chilled out instrumental, Departed, into Wrath Upon Ourselves. Nearly had a bloody heartache!! LOL!! Once i got over that, the CD has hardly been out of the player.
This album is REALLY GOOD. Buy it and you won't regret it.
