Le vocals, così come l&#8217;atmosfera malinconica e i riff rabbiosi sono traghettati dal passato: i pezzi del puzzle perfetto insomma sono tutti presenti. Le canzoni tendono ad esplosioni sussurrate rispetto al passato, ma a parte un passo falso (&#8221;Defamed&#8221;) si mantengono su standard pregevoli.</td>

Il muro sonoro tipico delle passate hit risulta parzialmente slavato ma senz&#8217;altro godibile.

Questa volta il folk è ridotto ai minimi termini e l&#8217;oscurità prende il sopravvento; le vocals, a fronte di una maggior tecnica acquisita dalla giovane frontwoman, si spingono in territori operistici. L&#8217;album scorre senza intoppi, peccando forse in monotonia, considerata anche la lunghezza media dei pezzi: manca una killer track e un pizzico di originalità. Malgrado ciò, il disco continua a girare nel lettore.</td>

Eppure ci avevano avvisato: &#8220;The Mirror&#8217;s Truth&#8221; è proprio il ribaltamento del contenuto dell&#8217;album. Sciatto.</td>

Inusitati squarci atmosferici (a tratti Filthiani) impreziosiscono i violenti riff thrash, sormontati dalle tiratissime corde vocali di un Mark Hunter inviperito come non mai. Una sola caduta di stile (&#8221;Killing the Beast&#8221;), ottimamente controbilanciato dalla suite di 10 minuti &#8220;Six&#8221; e da una produzione serratamente ultra-moderna.</td>

2008, Victory
Worchester, Massachusetts, USA 
Produttore: Jason Suecof, Bury Your Dead

Come, già finito? Il quintetto statunitense ha fuso in poco più di 30 minuti brutalità hardcore e melodia metal con una precisione tecnica encomiabile. Breakdown a non finire intrecciati con refrain catchy (ma mai scontati) costituiscono la base dell&#8217;album che stupisce per incisività e qualità [...]]]></description>

Breakdown a non finire intrecciati con refrain catchy (ma mai scontati) costituiscono la base dell&#8217;album che stupisce per incisività e qualità della proposta. Il nuovo vocalist unisce ad uno screaming al vetriolo (basti ascoltare l&#8217;incipit dell&#8217;album) la capacità di aprire verso lidi meno intensi; alla console il prodigio Jason Suecof spedisce in orbita il sound della band.</td>
