Atreyu’ve been combining Arch Enemy guitar wails with hardcore rumbling since ’01, recently overtaken by Shadows Fall, Killswitch Engage, and Avenged Sevenfold.
Psyopus’ debut is a hyperactive blur of aggression, technicality, and insanity thrown to the wind without a care in the world, doing as much damage as possible.
Rich with headbanging riffs, an excellent thrash frontman, gorgeous production by guitarist Adam Dutkiewitcz, Andy Sneap mixes. The clean-sung passages: Gay.
Ex-Shadows Fall singer Philip Labonte started All That Remains. Much richer and focused than the previous release, with ace production by Adam Dutkiewicz.
The ever-changing riffs, the melodic solos, the heavy-as-hell, frantic drumming. This is a true return to thrash with some of the heavier stuff thrown in.
With all sorts of hugely symphonic and choir-blessed folk/prog passages, and plainly chugging metal bits, Sirius B/Lemuria holds one’s attention throughout.
Suffocation return with their first full-length in nearly a decade, every bit as weighty and complex as ever. Subpar production can’t dampen the fury within.
