What’s good about drumming in general, is that the musician can find an elusive sweet spot between making music as pummeling as he can and stealing attention from other members. You have an above-average amount of blast beats thrown around. The closing part of Mechanical Breath is well built. The Ascent And Decline, The submissive, feature some nice unusual cymbal dexterity. I like how by changing or adding some small things to mundane drum patterns can shift your perception. You are seriously starting to think that this one will be something with a sing-along chorus.ĭrumming deserves a mention. Therefore, I like how deceitful are the first seconds of Mechanical Breath. I can’t say that any minute of this album is wasted on reaching your approval or repeating any musical idea.

Their third album wasn’t anticipated by any living creature at this point. no one was upset: while their first album is a good dose of metalcore mixed with European melodeath sound (excluding cosmic synths and clean vocals of Soilwork’s variety), their second album is a monument to mediocrity and greed of music label. Around this time The Agony Scene disappeared from radars. everything after was either popular or good. The Fall Of Ideals and An Ocean Between Us were the last two albums in my opinion to combine some kind of quality and popularity. Thanks to Roadrunner, some kids and the overwhelming popularity of nu-metal, not only metalcore had changed significantly for the worst, everyone was sick of it.
