The Dead Live By Love (Nuclear Blast)
by Scott Hefflon
Young, pale-faced Scots garbed in black, tearing metal a new one. Third full-length, a glorious grab bag of thrash shred, hardcore stomp, Blind Guardian harmonies, snarling and clean singing, and dueling soloing to make most guitarists hang their head in shame.
