This is your war.
Chains around your hands weigh you down.
There's nothing left.
I let the waves wash over me,
cleansing what innocence I have left.
Enslaved.
No return.
The separation of torn limbs.
There's nothing left.
This album is such a refreshing listen, it's heavy, it's soft and full of emotion. Rolo did not hold back on this one. In my opinion it's one of the greatest albums I've heard that's great from the first track to the last. A must listen indeed! Roy ORBITRON
I generally appreciate the album by album move away from hardcore towards extreme metal. Yet for me personally, this is where the balance is perfect. Kind of like Metallica's Ride the Lightning: subsequent albums were more sophisticated and complex, yet less intense, too. Great to come back to, again and again. jornfin
