Allt reviewið frá Rock Hard er hérna:

Anacrusis? Out of the picture. Death? The bandname turned out to be a bad omen, God have Chuck Schuldiner's soul. Voivod? Still great, but sound like ‘84. Psychotic Waltz? Smoked themselves away. Meshuggah? Awesome, but too cold to enchant the soul.

The not all that new messiah is from Canada, set new standards with their third album “Buried In Oblivion” (the predecessors “Into Eternity” and “Dead Or Dreaming” also belong in each collection) and connects the best moments from the aforementioned goosebump-guarantors to a totally unique sound. The five work their way from the hardest deathmetal parts with suitable vocals into very smooth and timeless melodies, carried by many-voiced clean vocals, like a canon sometimes. The highly complex guitarwork is never egoistic or bragging, but always takes you into a bridge or a chorus, that makes you addicted after hearing them twice and one feels the need to cry out from enthusiasm. Anything goes here.

“Buried In Oblivion” calls on your brains, no question about it. Who thinks these 45 minutes just work from unterneath a headphone are dead wrong though. With a track like “Spiralling Into Depression” the Canucks groove themselves into Nirvana and will catch such a hold of you that you won’t be able to sit still anymore. There are also two excellent, unpredictable ballads without any flattery: the titletrack (the chorus is repeated in the next, almost 7 minute long “Black Sea Of Agony”) and the closer “Morose Seclusion”.

Progmetalfans, powermetal freaks and deathmetal youngsters: complete awesome killers like “Splintered Visions”, “Embraced By Desolation” (how cool is that?!), “Three Dimensional Aperture”, “Beginning Of The End” or “Isolation” are for you, they start where the also excellent Soilwork end and connect the spirit of the avantgarde (Anacrusis, Thought Industry, Civil Defiance) with the catchyness of a Dream Theater or Hypocrisy, to choice.

There won't likely be a better metal album this year. An absolute killer!

Já, spennandi, maður verður að tjekka á þessu!

Fíla Thrash, ekki death, eikkað fyrir mig ??????

Mighty impressive stuff indeed!

Ég dwnldaði plötunni stuttu eftir að ég las þessa grein og leist svona asskoti vel á.
Á köflum einkennist söngurinn af NWOBHM en annars töff deathmetal. Það syngja nefninlega allir hljómsveitinni (fjórir syngja, það er einn sem er kinda live bassist, held ég).

þessi diskur er snilld. þarf ekkert að segja meir.

Já, ég er búinn að tékka á þessari plötu og eftir svolitla hlustun er ég farinn að fíla þetta nokkuð vel bara. Fannst clean söngurinn frekar leiðinlegur fyrst, en er farinn að venjast honum og finnst hann alveg eiga heima þarna.
