I wouldn't say this is one of those albums, but I will agree the term is often thrown around so haphazardly it kind of loses meaning. I will say Greece has been a hotbed of interesting metal lately, and I can't help but wonder if it has something to do with the troubles facing that country, particularly the youth. Great art has always come out of toil, and metal is a great outlet for anger.
