That's possible. I definitely heard someone mention the name before. Funny thing is, over the last few days I've been researching for the "Freshly Forged" section, new albums released, and had decided to take two from each month. I got to June and wanted the new Virgin Steele but couldn't find it anywhere, so just picked this one. I'll probably find out it's better than the VS in the end!

But I agree. I bought the album actually off of iTunes, hadn't heard anything off of it, bought it release day however and listened to it all through one night at work, favored pretty much the entire album, no weak points, just songs that varied on quality but were fairly consistent in regard to being good.

Yeah, I haven't come across one bad song on it.

Fan of Lamb of God at all? Their new album is one I'd call pretty great.

Heard one LOG, did not like it.

Early Katatonia is also pretty similar, and better to boot.
And both of these bands lost pretty much all of their death metal influences with later albums, if that means anything to you.

I'll listen to those and get back to you.
